Filter by:There is great interest in restorative therapies (platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, shockwave therapy and stem cell therapy) for ED given their non-invasive nature. However, data is still limited and requires further research prior to widespread adoption. Unfortunately, therapies such as PRP injections are being widely used without clinical evidence demonstrating its safety or effectiveness for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. 2-7 To date, there are no treatments that address the underlying cause of endothelial dysfunction, although low-intensity shockwave therapy for ED has shown promising results. Platelet-derived therapies targeting inflammation and promoting tissue/nerve regeneration and may represent a potential treatment option towards this direction. The investigators propose to perform Canada's first pilot RCT to evaluate and safety and efficacy of PRP for the treatment of ED.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the DTT106 in the treatment of erectile dysfunction associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia
The study aimed at evaluating the impact of glycemic control on the erectile function , penile Doppler, and cavernosal blood NO and glutathione levels among a group of diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction.
This research study is trying to determine if Low-Intensity shock wave therapy (LiSWT) is safe and effective in patients with symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) after radical prostatectomy.
Twenty (20) individuals to be recruited from Ballantyne Medical Associates in Charlotte, NC, without any significant chronic medical history. These patients are general patients for primary care that meet inclusion criteria. Patients will be screened and enrolled by Dr. Bauer and his delegated research staff upon patient consult. Patients will be informed of the purpose of the study including risks, benefits, and alternative treatments to the study. After the potential participants have been given the opportunity to ask questions and have their questions answered, they will be asked to sign an informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures being performed. Blinded test product will be randomly assigned to study subjects. Test group 1 will be dosed with a placebo capsule taken two capsules once daily Test group 2 will be dosed with Berkeley Life capsules taken two capsules once daily. At baseline, prior to crossover to the other treatment, and at the study's conclusion, NO levels will be monitored using salivary nitric oxide test strips. Both test groups will remain on their existing treatment protocol throughout the study.
To investigate if post-operative penile vibration stimulation kan be used to reduce or prevent sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. This will be done in a randomized, controlled, non-blinded study. Men that undergo nerve preserving surgery for prostate cancer is allocated into an intervention group and a control group. A total of 100 men will be included for a power of 80%. The intervention group will be instructed to use the "Ferticare 2.0" vibrator for at least five minutes a day with an amplitude of 1 mm and frequency of 90 Hz (these settings were found in a pilot study) for a total of 9 months. Both groups will do the standard pelvic floor training program and both groups will be offered regular phosphodiesterase-5-inhibitor treatment. Before surgery, 3, 6 and 10 months after the patients will have to fill out four different questionnaires regarding sexual and urinary function, including IIEF-EF, EHS, "neglected side effects" and ICIQ-SF. (10 months is due to a wash-out period of 1 month after the intervention). The collected data will be analysed and the primary goal is to see if there is a significant difference in average spontaneous IIEF-EF score in the two groups 10 months after the surgery.
In order to evaluate the relationship between bone pelvis measurements and erectile function in patients who underwent nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, bone pelvis measurements will be measured from MRI images of the patients before the operation and their erection quality will be evaluated with the IIEF-5 form. The erection quality of the same patients will be evaluated with the IIEF-5 form in the 3rd and 6th months after the operation. And it will be evaluated whether there is a relationship between the erection quality of the patients before and after the operation and their bone pelvis measurements.
Adult subjects with mild to moderate and moderate ED who meet the study eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study. The enrolled subjects will be randomized by a 1:1 ratio to receive the Active or Sham VERTICA® treatment. Baseline assessments will include collection of demographic data, medical history, concomitant medications and baseline clinical examinations. The initial treatment session will be performed in a clinical setting simulating home use to determine proper device use and to evaluate device tolerability, followed by continued home use of the device for a total of 6 months. Patients will be instructed to attempt sexual activity periodically over the course of the study. Every time a sexual intercourse is attempted, the patient will be requested to complete an event log using validated assessments. Patients will present for monthly follow-up visits, during which safety will be evaluated and additional efficacy assessments will be performed.
In this study, it is planned to investigate the effect of connective tissue massage on symptom severity, autonomic functions, psychological state and quality of life in individuals with erectile dysfunction symptoms.
Research study designed to learn about and compare Shockwave therapy (SWT) vs placebo (no shockwaves) treatment in men with moderate to severe erectile dysfunction (ED) after Radical Prostatectomy
