Erectile dysfunction is a common problem for males starting in their early 40s and increases with age. There are many nonsurgical treatment options for erectile dysfunction, including oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, penile self-injections with vasoactive drugs, and extracorporeal shockwave therapy. A review of the clinical effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy could help clarify the potential role in clinical practice. The objectives of this report are to summarize the evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and to report on recommendations found in evidence-based guidelines.
