低强度体外冲击波疗法治疗勃起功能障碍研究进展
Research Progress on Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction
摘要: 勃起功能障碍(erectile dysfunction, ED)是一种常见的男性性功能障碍，主要表现为持续不能达到或维持足以满足性功能的阴茎勃起。长期以来，口服磷酸二酯酶5抑制剂(PDE5i)一直被认为是ED的一线疗法。近年来，低强度体外冲击波疗法(Low-Intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy, Li-ESWT)逐渐被认为是一种治疗血管性及部分神经性ED安全有效的方法。本文就Li-ESWT治疗ED的病理生理机制研究及其临床应用的进展做简要综述。
Abstract: Erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, ED) is a common male sexual dysfunction, mainly characterized by the persistent inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for sexual function. For a long time, oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5is) have been considered first-line therapy for ED. In recent years, low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) has gradually emerged as a safe and effective treatment for vascular and certain cases of neurogenic ED. This article provides a brief review of the pathophysiological mechanisms of Li-ESWT in the treatment of ED and its research progress in clinical applications.
