Abstract

Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a connective tissue disorder of the penis that causes pain, curvature, and erectile dysfunction.  Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 112 patients treated with ESWT. Each received three sessions of 3,000 shockwaves at 0.11-0.17 mJ/mm2. Pain, curvature, and erectile function were assessed.

Results: Pain relief occurred in 90% of patients (mean VAS reduction: 3, p<0.00001); 57.1% had curvature improvement (mean 30°, p<0.001); 26.2% of ED patients improved ≥ 4 points in IIEF.

Conclusions: ESWT appears safe and effective in improving pain and curvature in PD patients.

体外冲击波疗法(ESWT)治疗佩罗尼氏病的初步经验。
背景:佩罗尼氏病(PD)是一种阴茎结缔组织疾病,引起疼痛、弯曲和勃起功能障碍。方法:对112例经ESWT治疗的患者进行前瞻性研究。每组接受三组3000次冲击波,冲击波强度为0.11-0.17 mJ/mm2。评估疼痛、弯曲度和勃起功能。结果:90%的患者出现疼痛缓解(平均VAS降低:3.0%)。结论:ESWT在改善PD患者疼痛和曲度方面安全有效。
