Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy in Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’S Disease

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been on the rise for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. There have been 21 original papers, 1 meta-analysis, and 2 review articles published. Analyzing these studies systematically, ESWT seems to have an effect on penile pain during erection and on the improvement of sexual function. It seems that pain resolves faster after ESWT treatment than during the course of natural history. The effect on plaque size and penile curvature is less impressive. The most recent studies do not provide evidence that ESWT has an effect on curvature and plaque size. Despite the lack of severe side effects, the data concerning efficacy published to date do not justify recognizing ESWT as an evidence-based, standard procedure for the treatment of Peyronie's disease.

Many theories have been proposed to explain the cause of Peyronie's disease (PD); however, the true pathogenesis of PD remains an enigma. As a result, the treatment of PD remains a dilemma and new therapies continue to evolve. The last two decades have witnessed a phenomenal advance in the understanding of the pathophysiology and natural history of PD. The efficacy of conservative treatment for PD is not settled. In this update review the authors provide information of the status of conservative therapy for PD. Conservative treatment is always the initial treatment in most of the cases. This kind of therapy consists of different modalities of treatment such as oral, intralesional or topical therapy. Other treatments including iontophoresis, extracorporeal shock wave, radiotherapy, ultrasound and laser have also been reported.
