BACKGROUND: We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of Li-ESWT combined with or without medications for patients with Chronic prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS). METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted of PUBMED, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception to February 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the efficacy and safety of Li-ESWT with or without the combination of medications compared with the control group...

To identify factors that could influence the treatment outcomes of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) on chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)-like symptoms and establish a predictive model based on these factors to precisely screen individuals who might be more suitable for Li-ESWT. This study enrolled 84 patients with CP/CPPS-like symptoms who received Li-ESWT. Patients were divided into an effective group and an ineffective group based on the reduction of their National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI)...

BACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common complication in men with diabetes mellitus (DM). Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) offers a promising nonsurgical treatment option for ED. A systematic scoping review investigating the outcomes of Li-ESWT in diabetic men with ED has not yet been performed. OBJECTIVES: To systematically review animal and clinical studies related to the use of Li-ESWT for treatment of DM-related ED. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched, unrestricted by dates or study design...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a well-known complication of radical prostatectomy (RP). Oral 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors are currently the most widely used penile rehabilitation treatment for ED following RP, but they are less effective than for those with general ED. Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave treatment (LI-ESWT), causing a biological change that induces neovascularization, has recently been used as a treatment for ED. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficiency of LI-ESWT in ED following RP...

Neurogenic inflammation and central sensitization play a role in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. We explore the molecular effects of low-intensity shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) on central sensitization in a capsaicin-induced prostatitis rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent intraprostatic capsaicin (10 mM, 0.1 cm3 ) injections. After injection, the prostate received Li-ESWT twice, one day apart. The L6 dorsal root ganglion (DRG)/spinal cord was harvested for histology and Western blotting on days 3 and 7...

Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT), as a microenergy therapy, has the effects of inhibiting oxidative stress, antiapoptosis, and tissue repair, which is increasingly applied to a variety of diseases. Our research aims to explore the protective effects of Li-ESWT in the aging rat model and its possible molecular mechanism through in vivo and in vitro experiments. In vitro, TM3 Leydig cells incubated with H2 O2 were treated with Li-ESWT at 4 energy levels (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mJ/mm2 )...

INTRODUCTION: Predictive factors for the treatment success of low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) for erectile dysfunction (ED) are still under debate. METHODS: Li-ESWT was performed in 50 patients suffering from ED by applying 3,000 shock waves once a week over a period of 6 weeks. Treatment success was defined as an increase in the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) score by ≥5 points or an Erectile Hardness Score (EHS) of ≥3 points...

Noninvasive low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave treatment (Li-ESWT) has been widely used to treat erection disorders. There is no clear information regarding either the selection of patients for the treatment or the treatment protocol. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy in diabetic patients with severe erectile dysfunction (International Index of Erectile Function-5 [IIEF-5] scores of 5 to 7). Sixty-three diabetes mellitus patients with erectile dysfunction having IIEF-5 scores of 5 to 7 and not showing a recovery of potency despite phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor therapy for the past 6 months were included in the study...

Erectile dysfunction (ED), a common and frequently occurring disease, threatens the sexual well-being of middle-aged and old men. In recent years, micro-energy therapies, represented by low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT), is proved by long-term multicenter randomized controlled studies to be safe and effective for the treatment of ED. Compared with traditional treatment, this method has the characteristics of few adverse effects, little trauma and thorough treatment. Recently, studies on its mechanisms have aroused the interest of scientists...

BACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction (ED) remains an emotional wrench to patients and a therapeutic challenge to urologists in andrology clinics worldwide. This is, in part, related to refraction to, or transient effect of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), coupled with patients' dissatisfaction with this treatment modality. Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) is an evolving treatment option, with promising curative potential. Current international guidelines are inconclusive, bear weak recommendation strength, and lack ethnogeographic consensus...

BACKGROUND: One of the most common complications following surgery for midshaft clavicle fracture is nonunion/delayed union. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an alternative to promote new bone formation without surgical complications. To date, no literature has reported low-intensity ESWT (LI-ESWT) in delayed union of midshaft clavicle fracture. CASE SUMMARY: We reported a 66-year-old Chinese amateur cyclist with clavicle delayed union treated with 10 sessions of LI-ESWT (radial, 0...

Energy-based therapies are novel treatments for erectile dysfunction that are thought to work by stimulation of tissue vasodilation, neoangiogenesis, and so forth. Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) is the energy-based therapy with the most robust evidence basis demonstrating efficacy and safety. Among this evidence, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating Li-ESWT have largely been focused on responders to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. Many of these RCTs have limitations including short follow-up durations, inconsistent protocols, and small sample sizes...

The present work aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) on patients with prostatitis-like symptoms (PLS). Patients with PLS were recruited and received four-week Li-ESWT (once per week), which was conducted at a frequency of 3 Hz with a preferred energy flow density of 0.25 mJ/mm2 . The scores of the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index (NIH-CPSI), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were recorded to assess the remission of disease in the 0, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th and 16th weeks...
