Hypothesis / Aims of Study Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have shown potential in treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Combining these two therapies could potentially amplify their effects and provide a more effective treatment option for ED. …
Background Among the emerging treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), known for its ability to enhance tissue repair and regeneration, stands out as a promising therapeutic approach. In this innovative study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of …
Abstract Purpose: We assessed the safety and efficacy of 2 injections of platelet-rich plasma for treating mild to moderate erectile dysfunction by conducting a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Materials and methods: Men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (International Index …
Abstract Human skin and hair follicles are recognized sites of microbial colonization. These microbiota help regulate host immune mechanisms via an interplay between microbes and immune cells, influencing homeostasis and inflammation. Bacteria affect immune responses by controlling the local inflammatory …
Abstract Vaginal atrophy caused by the aging process and perineal trauma has a negative impact on women. A new vaginal atrophy treatment is injection of materials into the vaginal wall, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autogenous fat graft (AFG), hyaluronic acid …
Key Takeaways Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment modality that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the healing process in a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. The therapy can benefit patients by reducing pain, accelerating recovery, and improving mobility …
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and fibromyalgia (FM) are underestimated painful musculoskeletal conditions that could impact function and quality of life. A consensus about the most appropriate therapeutic approach is still not reached. Considering the long course of the diseases, prolonged …
Background Adipose tissue has recently become one of the most promising and predominant sources of mesenchymal stem cells owing to its high accessibility, culturing properties, regenerative potential, and relatively fewer ethical considerations. From the time of the adipose-derived stem cells …
Abstract We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT) in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). From July 2011 to June 2021, we selected 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 1,064 participants to …
Introduction: Although the literature on the positive effects of penile low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy is substantial, there are significant differences regarding both the sources of energy and the extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) devices. Objectives: To provide an overview of the …
