This study tests a treatment called EECP (which uses gentle pressure on your legs to improve blood flow) to see if it can help with erectile dysfunction in older men who also have high blood pressure. If you qualify, you may get this non-invasive treatment and track your symptoms.
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 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 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 trial combines a low-intensity shockwave treatment with a commonly used injectable medication (collagenase) to see if the combination works better for men with Peyronie's disease who have a noticeable curve and a non-calcified plaque.
