Effects of Low-intensity Shockwave Therapy Versus Kegel Exercises on Arteriogenic Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients
Abstract
* To assess the effectiveness of low-intensity shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) in the management of Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.
* To assess the effectiveness of Kegel Exercises in the management of Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.
* To compare the effectiveness of Li-ESWT and Kegel Exercises in the management of Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.
Conditions: Sexual Dysfunction, Shock Wave.
Primary outcome: Penile color-coded Duplex scanning; International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) questionnaire.
Enrollment: 90 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 90 participants or records.
