- Peyronie's Disease (PD) causes painful erections and penile curvature due to fibrotic plaques, and current treatments are not very effective.
- A study at the University of Miami tested the safety and effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as a treatment by comparing it to a placebo with forty-one PD patients, each receiving both treatments over six months.
