Shock wave therapy for erectile dysfunction
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a machine (called the Dornier machine) that uses sound waves to improve blood flow in the penis. It may help men with erectile dysfunction, and this pilot study aims to see if the treatment is practical and effective.

This study tests whether shockwave therapy—a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves—can help improve erectile dysfunction. If you qualify, you'll receive shockwave treatments and answer questions about your sexual function over time.
This study tests a new treatment using low-intensity shockwaves to help men with erectile dysfunction who have not responded well to standard pills. It may offer an alternative to improve erectile function.
This trial tests whether combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections with low-intensity shock wave therapy works better than PRP alone for men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. PRP uses your own blood to help healing, and shock waves may improve blood flow to the penis.
This study tests whether low-energy shockwave therapy can help improve erectile function after prostate removal surgery. It is for men who are having a nerve-sparing prostatectomy and who had normal erections before surgery, to see if this treatment can help them recover erectile function more effectively.
This trial compares two types of low-intensity wave therapy to see which works better for erectile dysfunction and/or chronic pelvic pain. Participants may benefit if these therapies improve erection quality and reduce pelvic pain.
This trial tests whether sound waves (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) can help men with stable Peyronie's disease reduce curvature and plaque. It's for those whose condition hasn't changed for at least 6 months and who haven't had other treatments.
