Shockwave vs. magnetic therapy for female sexual dysfunction
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments—extracorporeal shockwave therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy—to help women with reduced sexual desire, arousal problems, difficulty with orgasm, or pain during intercourse. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are in a stable sexual relationship for at least 6 months and sexually active within the past month
- You have not had pelvic surgery in the past 6 months

This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy—a non-invasive treatment using magnetic waves—can reduce chronic pelvic pain caused by endometriosis (a condition where tissue grows outside the uterus). The goal is to see if this approach helps women manage their pain.
This study tests whether low-intensity shock wave therapy can help women with overactive bladder who have not gotten better with other treatments. Shock waves are sound waves that may improve bladder function and reduce symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
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 compares a new treatment (low-intensity shockwave therapy) with a standard medication (solifenacin) to see which works better for women with overactive bladder (OAB). Overactive bladder means you feel a sudden, strong need to urinate, often have to go frequently, or may leak urine. The study aims to find a more effective or better-tolerated option.
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 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.
