Trial Outcomes & Findings for Low Intensity Shock Wave Therapy in the Management of Erectile Dysfunction (NCT NCT04136288)

NCT ID: NCT04136288

Last Updated: 2024-11-12

Results Overview

Resistive Index (RI) is a measure of resistance to blood flow within the right penile arteries. Measured using a Color Duplex Doppler Ultrasound (CDDU) measured in cm/second Elevated values are associated with a poorer prognosis. Lower values are associated with a better prognosis.

Interval 64.0 to 100.0

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Treatment 6 Final Shockwave treatment (pre-procedure, intra-procedure, post procedure) approximately 1 hour

Peak systolic velocity (PSV): The maximum velocity of blood flow during erection. Measured using a Color Duplex Doppler Ultrasound (CDDU) measured in cm/second A PSV higher than 35 cm/sec is regarded as normal, a 25-35 cm/sec may indicate moderate-to-mean arterial damage, and a PSV lower than 25 may indicate the presence of severe arteriopathy.

Diastolic Velocity (DV) represents the velocity of right-side blood flow during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. A DV less than 5 cm/s is considered normal (better). A DV less considered abnormal (worse). Measured using a Color Duplex Doppler Ultrasound (CDDU) measured in cm/second

Measured using a self-reported Erection Hardness Score (EHS) scale options from 0 (minimum) to 4 (maximum). 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, or 4-Penis is completely hard and fully rigid. A lower score indicates a worse outcome. A higher score indicates a better outcome.

Timeframe: Treatment 6 Final Shockwave treatment (pre-procedure, intra-procedure, post procedure) approximately 1 hour

Measured using a self-reported International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF - EF) consisting of 6 questions regarding the participants erectile function for the past 4 weeks. The questionnaire utilizes a scale of 0 (minimum) to 5 (maximum). A lower score indicates a worse outcome. A higher score indicates a better outcome. Questions 1-2 scale: 0=No sexual activity, 1= Almost never/never, 2= A few times (much less than half the time),3= Sometimes (about half the time), 4= Most times (much more than half the time),5= Almost always/always Questions 3-4 scale: 0=Did not attempt, 1=Almost never/never, 2= A few times (much less than half the time), 3= Sometimes (about half the time), 4= Most times (much more than half the time), 5= Almost always/always Question 5 scale:0=Did not attempt intercourse,1= Extremely difficult, 2=Very Difficult, 3=Difficult, 4= Slightly Difficult, 5= No Difficult Question 6 scale: 1= Very low, 2=Low, 3=Moderate, 4=High, 5= Very high
