Vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the leading causes of male sexual dysfunction. In the past decade, multiple studies have examined the use of low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) for the treatment of ED. ⋯ Li-ESWT could be beneficial in specific sub-sets of men with vasculogenic ED. However, future RCTs should attempt to optimize treatment protocols and have more stringent inclusion criteria to confirm these findings. Rizk PJ, Krieger JR, Kohn TP, et al.
