About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Erectile Dysfunction focused on measuring Erectile dysfunction, Low Intensity Shock Wave

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ED of more than 6 months
  • Rigidity score ≥ 3 under PDE5i therapy
  • SHIM ≤21 under PDE5i therapy
  • Non- hormonal, neurological or psychological pathology
  • Stable heterosexual relationship for more than 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior prostatectomy surgery
  • Any unstable medical, psychiatric, spinal cord injury and penile anatomical abnormalities
  • Clinically significant chronic hematological disease
  • Anti-androgens, oral or injectable androgens
  • Radiotherapy in pelvic region

Sites / Locations

  • Rambam Health Care Campus

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Sham Comparator

Arm Label

shock wave treatment

"MEDISPEC" Sham

Arm Description

"MEDISPEC" Probe does not deliver energy but creates same noise and sensation of active probe

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

International Index of Erectile function- Erectile Function Domain
An increase in score of 5points and above will be considered success.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rigidity scale
A change from 1,2 to a result of 3 or 4 of the rigidity scale points will be considered success
Flow Mediated Dilatation Technique
A specialized sphygmomanometer cuff located at the penile base, is inflated to 50 mm Hg for 5min to induce a venous filling. A mercury strain gauge is placed at least 1-2 cm above the penile cuff. Baseline penile blood flow is obtained. Postischemic penile blood flow is then recorded immediately after the deflation, until a return to baseline flow is observed. An increase in blood flow above 30% will be considered success.
