Low-intensity shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients. A prospective, randomized, double blinded, sham-controlled study with evaluation by penile Doppler ultrasonography
Kleiton G. R. Yamaçake 1 ● Felipe Carneiro 2 ● Jose Cury 1 ● Rodolfo Lourenço 1 ● Peter C. Françolin 2 ● Affonso C. Piovesan 1 ● Miguel Srougi 3 ● Willian C. Nahas 3 ● Ioannis M. Antonopoulos
Conclusion
This study presents a novel technology that appears to be effective for treating ED among kidney transplant recipients. We believe that ESWT for ED is an intriguing therapy option and may soon serve as a minimally invasive procedure to help patients achieve erection in addition to oral pharmacotherapy. Our treatment protocol was effective; it is the first study in this area conducted among kidney transplant recipients. Additional studies including large multicenter, longer term, randomized, and sham-controlled studies are required before Li-ESWT can be adopted as a standard therapy and a treatment that can “cure” ED.
