Erectile Dysfunction Clinical Trial
Official title:
Preservation of Erectile Function With Early Postoperative Application of Low Intensity Shockwave Therapy After Nerve Sparing Radical Prostatectomy
This phase I clinical trial studies how well low intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) improves erectile function in patients who have had nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (NS-RP), a type of surgery that attempts to save the nerves near the tissues being removed, for prostate cancer. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a known side effect of the radical prostatectomy procedure. The low intensity shockwave therapy delivers painless electrotherapy pulse to increase blood flow and supply, activation of tissues and wound healing. Using LiSWT after NS-PRP may improve erectile function in men with prostate cancer.

Primary | Patient reported sexual function | Will be assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) The IIEF is a15-item questionnaire - each item scored from 0 to 5 - examines five main domains of male sexual function: erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction. Outcomes measured only at 6 months post randomization will be analyzed using analysis of covariance with adjustment for the baseline value. | At 6 months post low intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) initiation | |
Primary | Patient reported sexual function | Will be assessed using the Erection Hardness Scale (EHS). The EHS is a single-item validated Likert scale. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. Outcomes measured only at 6 months post randomization will be analyzed using analysis of covariance with adjustment for the baseline value. | At 6 months post low intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) initiation | |
Secondary | Change in duplex doppler ultrasound measurement | Will be assessed by penile flow parameters. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. Outcomes measured only at 6 months post randomization will be analyzed using analysis of covariance with adjustment for the baseline value. | Baseline to 6 months post LiSWT initiation | |
Secondary | Erectile function | Will be assessed using the IIEF, EHS, Sexual Encounter Profile diary and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement survey scores. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. | At 1 month following LiSWT initiation | |
Secondary | Erectile function | Will be assessed using the IIEF, EHS, Sexual Encounter Profile diary and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement survey scores. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. | At 3 month following LiSWT initiation | |
Secondary | Erectile function | Will be assessed using the IIEF, EHS, Sexual Encounter Profile diary and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement survey scores. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. | At 6 month following LiSWT initiation | |
Secondary | Erectile function | Will be assessed using the IIEF, EHS, Sexual Encounter Profile diary and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement survey scores. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. | At 9 month following LiSWT initiation | |
Secondary | Erectile function | Will be assessed using the IIEF, EHS, Sexual Encounter Profile diary and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement survey scores. Mixed effect linear regression will be used to model post randomization repeated measurements of continuous outcomes. From the results of the model, will estimate the mean difference between groups at each time point along with a 95% confidence interval. | At 12 month following LiSWT initiation |
