Editorial Comment: The effect of low-intensity shock wave therapy on moderate erectile dysfunction: A doubleblind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial

Abstract

The undeniably numerous advances in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) over the last two decades have not been able to satisfy the desire to search for a treatment modality capable of altering the underlying pathophysiology of the erectile mechanism. The search for a new modality of clinical treatment that is effective with a lasting effect that restores spontaneous erection has brought the focus of recent studies to a promising modality through low-intensity shock wave therapy (LiST), being treated as one of the treatments that has been increasingly proposed.
