IRB study at Georgia Urology, Atlanta, USA – Since 2007 at least 250.000 ED patients have been treated with shock wave therapy (SWT). The majority of them treated with radial / ballistic SWT devices by non-urologists (Source: TRT). Click here to read more.Read More
MTS-Science Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT) is of great clinical interest for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and Peyronie’s disease. Extensive research in animal and human studies showed that the beneficial effect of LI-ESWT is due to its angiogenic properties. It is thought to stimulate neovascularization by inducing the...Read More

Introduction: In the USA, since 2007, approximately 400 shockwave therapy (SWT) or acoustic pressure pulse (APP) devices have been sold for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) with...Read More
Journal of Sexual Medicine (Guiting Lin MD PhD, Amanda B. Reed-Maldonado MD, Bohan Wang MD, Yung-chin Lee MD, Jun Zhou MD, Zhihua Lu MD, Guifang Wang MD, Lia Banie BS, Tom F. Lue MD) We previously reported that progenitor cells, or stem cells, exist within penile tissue. We hypothesized that acoustic wave stimulation by low-intensity...Read More
A Systematic Scoping Review of Pre-Clinical Studies – Using Cochrane’s methodologic recommendations on scoping studies and systematic reviews, we conducted a systematic scoping review of the literature on experimental research regarding Li-ESWT for ED and other pathologic conditions. The initial systematic search was carried between January and November 2017, with 2 additional searches in April and...Read More
