Shockwave therapy for penis recovery after prostate cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if low-intensity shockwaves can help men regain erectile function after robot-assisted prostate surgery. If you had nerve-sparing surgery and have good erections before treatment, this may help you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
