2024: PRP Meta-Analysis Reported Improved Erectile-Function Outcomes Compared With Control Treatment
Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction: A Meta-Analysis of Controlled and Single-Arm Trials — Read Study
This 2024 meta-analysis reviewed research on PRP for erectile dysfunction, including 12 controlled trials with 991 participants and 11 single-arm trials with 377 participants. Overall, men who received PRP had greater improvements in erectile-function scores than those in the control groups and were more likely to experience a meaningful improvement. These findings support continued research into PRP as a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction, although treatment methods varied across the studies.
2024: Bone Marrow-Derived MSCs Reported Erectile-Function Improvements in Men With Diabetes
Stem Cell Therapy in Diabetic Men With Erectile Dysfunction: A 24-Month Follow-Up of Safety and Efficacy of Two Intracavernous Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Injections, an Open Label Phase 2 Clinical Trial — Read Study
This phase 2 clinical trial studied two injections of a patient’s own bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in men with diabetes and erectile dysfunction. Participants were followed for two years. Treatment was generally well tolerated, and participants reported improvements in erectile function and erection hardness, with penile blood flow also improving at three months, although some of the benefits decreased over time.
2024: Testosterone Therapy Reported Improved Sexual Activity and Desire in Men With Hypogonadism
Effect of Testosterone Replacement Therapy on Sexual Function and Hypogonadal Symptoms in Men With Hypogonadism — Read Study
This randomized, placebo-controlled study included 1,161 middle-aged and older men with low testosterone and low sexual desire. Participants received either testosterone gel or a placebo and were followed for up to two years. Men who received testosterone reported greater improvements in sexual activity, sexual desire, and symptoms related to low testosterone than those who received placebo, although testosterone did not significantly improve erectile function compared with placebo.
