Effectiveness of monthly maintenance low-intensity shockwave therapy added to a weekly protocol for erectile dysfunction: multicenter open-label randomized study

The application of a protocol of 6 weekly shockwave therapy sessions plus 5 monthly maintenance sessions, for the treatment of organic erectile dysfunction, does not generate statistically significant changes in the IIEF score up to 6 months of treatment compared to the same protocol without maintenance sessions, but may increase the probability of achieving clinical improvement, without serious adverse events.
