A laser machine for erectile dysfunction: a pilot study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This pilot study tests if a machine that uses low-energy shock waves (like sound waves) can improve blood flow to the penis and help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) get firmer erections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have erectile dysfunction (ED) that has been confirmed by a doctor and a special ultrasound of the penis.
- You do not have bleeding problems (like hemophilia or low platelets).
- You have not had a penile implant (prosthesis) placed.
- You have not had your bladder surgically removed (radical cystectomy).
- You do not have any major intellectual or learning disabilities that would affect your ability to participate.
- You do not have any serious bone or joint abnormalities.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study tests whether low-intensity shock wave therapy can help improve erectile function after robotic prostatectomy for low-risk prostate cancer. It is for men who already had fairly good erections before surgery and want to see if this non-invasive treatment can help their recovery.
This trial compares two treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED): platelet-rich plasma (PRP, made from your own blood) alone, or PRP combined with low-intensity shock wave therapy (sound waves applied to the penis). PRP is thought to help repair tissue, and shock waves may improve blood flow. The goal is to see if adding shock waves works better than PRP alone.
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.
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.
