Overview
The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) with Xiaflex treatment will result in greater improvements to the curvature of the penis.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria
• Diagnosed with PD
- Palpable penile plaque
- Dorsal, lateral, or dorsolateral penile curvature
- Penile curvature > 30 degrees and < 90 degrees as measured using goniometer during objective curvature assessment
- Non-calcified plaque or grade 1 calcification ("stippling", no shadowing) as determined by penile duplex Doppler ultrasound (PDDU)
- "Stable PD symptoms' defined as PD symptom duration > 6-months or stable symptoms > 3-months
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior intralesional injections or surgery for PD.
- Severe baseline penile pain.
- Moderate or severe baseline ED based on IIEF-EF domain.
- History of low intensity shockwave therapy for sexual dysfunction (ED or PD).
- Ventral (downward) or ventrolateral penile curvature.
- Moderate or severe (grade 2/3) plaque calcification as determined by PDDU.
- Inability to achieve satisfactory erection rigidity at time of baseline curvature assessment.
