About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Double Blinded Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Combined Effect of Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) and Vacuum Erectile Device Combined With Manipulation Exercises on Peyronies Disease.

Aim The primary aim is to examine whether LI-ESWT and vacuum erectile device (VED) followed by manipulation exercises has beneficial effect on PD patients compared to a placebo group.

Primary Outcome

Read more
  • Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ)
  • Visual Analogue Scale score (VAS)
  • International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IEFF-5)
  • Penile curve measurements (gold standard) on pictures before and after treatment
  • Plaque size

Method This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled with follow-up after 1, 3 and 6 months.

A total of 50 participants who meets the inclusion criteria's will randomly be assigned to I(intervention) or C(control) group based on a randomization list which is retained in a sealed envelope. The content of the envelope is only familiar to the Head of the Department of Urology to ensure valid randomization.

All treatment sessions are executed at the outpatient clinic of the department of urology department L at Odense University Hospital(OUH). All patients receive treatment with the same device a Duolith® SD1 T-Top from Storz Medical. However, when treating patients in the control group the handpiece will be covered by a shockwave absorbent material. Settings and setup are identical in both groups to make sure that patients are unable to acknowledge which treatment is being performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in penile curvature

    Change in penile curvature from baseline to follow-up at 1,3 and 6 months. Penile curvature is measured on pictures submitted by the patient.

    Measured: penile curve will be assessed at baseline, and 1,3 and 6 months.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in pain score using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    VAS is a subjective pain score ranging from 0-10 whereas 0 means no pain, and 10 being excruciating pain. Patients are asked to rank their average pain for the last 24 hours.

    Measured: VAS will be assessed at baseline, and 1,3 and 6 months.

  2. Change in Erectile function using the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5).

    Erectile function is estimated using the IIEF-5 which is a 5 item questionnaire. Based on the patients answers a final score is merged. The definition of erectile dysfunction(ED) is; 5-7 (severe), 8-11(moderate), 12-16(mild-moderate), 17-21(mild) and 22-25 no ED.

    Measured: IIEF-5 will be assessed at baseline, and 1,3 and 6 months.

  3. Change in Peyronies disease questionnaire score

    Questionnaire to evaluate the psychological/physical consequences of peyronies disease.

    Measured: Peyronies disease questionnaire will be assessed at baseline, and 1,3 and 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy and Penile pump in people with Peyronie Disease, run by Odense University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in penile curvature (time frame: penile curve will be assessed at baseline, and 1,3 and 6 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2019.
