shock wave treatment

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

"MEDISPEC" treatment probe

Intervention Type DEVICE

300 shocks in 5 different anatomical locations of the penis.

"MEDISPEC" Low intensity shock waves

Intervention Type DEVICE

Treatment parameters will be as follows: Intensity: 0.09 mj/mm2 ,300 shocks per site, on 5 penile anatomical sites. Total number of shock waves: 1500/ session Frequency of 120/min

"MEDISPEC" Sham

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

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

"MEDISPEC" Sham Probe

Intervention Type DEVICE

Sham probe applied same as treatment probe without energy
