Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Low Intensity Shockwave for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (NCT NCT03067987)

NCT ID: NCT03067987

Last Updated: 2020-06-11

Results Overview

IIEF is a 15 item self-administered questionnaire assessing erectile dysfunction and treatment outcomes. Total IIEF score range from 5-25 with scores classifying erectile dysfunction (ED) as: severe (5-7); moderate (8-11); mild to moderate (12-16); mild (17-21) and no ED (22-25). The questionnaire will be assessed at baseline (before 1 month washout prior to treatment initiation), 1 month follow up (at 2 months), 3 month follow up (at 4 months) and 6 months follow up (at 7 months). Time Frame: 7 months

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 months

EHS rates the hardness of erection on a scale of 1-4 assessed at baseline (before 1 month washout prior to treatment initiation), 1 month follow up (at 2 months), 3 month follow up (at 4 months) and 6 months follow up (at 7 months). A score of 0 = penis does not enlarge; 1 = penis is larger but not hard; 2 = penis is hard but not hard enough for penetration; 3 = penis is hard enough for penetration but not completely hard; 4 = penis is completely hard and fully rigid.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 months

Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) is a measure of efficacy of erectile dysfunction therapy. Improved responses to treatment will be reported as the percentage of participants that responds "yes" and non-improvement responses to treatment will be reported as the percentage of participants that responds "no".
