Preliminary results from our study provide further evidence that low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a safe and effective treatment modality for erectile dysfunction. Our treatment protocol with shockwaves given to men over 2 wk had the most robust effect.

The most time-consuming aspect of dental prosthesis installation is the osseointegration of a metal implant with bone tissue. The acceleration of this process may be achieved through the use of extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The objective of this study is to investigate the conditions for osseointegration of the second premolar implant in the mandibular segment through the use of a poroelastic model implemented in the movable cellular automaton method.

Stem cell therapy and low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave (LI-ECSW) are recognized as potential restorative therapies and have been used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Stem cell therapy is well-known due to its attributed regenerative ability and thus can help to improve erectile function in patients with vasculogenic ED. Besides, current evidence also shows that LI-ECSW therapy can help stimulate cell recruitment and proliferation and promote angiogenesis and vascularization in the damaged tissue.

Background: Low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) is an emerging non-invasive and restorative therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) with demonstrated efficacy and few adverse events. Although LiSWT has been shown to improve erectile function amongst men with ED, few studies have examined its long-term durability. We present the long-term results of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing erectile function after LiSWT.
