Effects of Stem Cell Treatment in Human Patients With Peyronie Disease

This prospective pilot study evaluated the safety and efficacy of intracavernosal injections of placental matrix-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PM-MSCs) in five male patients aged 45–59 with Peyronie’s disease (PD). Patients received a single PM-MSC injection and were followed at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Significant improvements were observed

Treatment of Diabetic Impotence with Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Intracavernosal Transplant: Preliminary Report of 7 Cases

This 2010 pilot study assessed the safety and efficacy of intracavernosal injections of human umbilical cord blood stem cells (hUCBSCs) in seven male patients (ages 57–87) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and refractory erectile dysfunction (ED). Each patient received a single injection of 1.5×10⁷ hUCBSCs without immunosuppression. Over a 9-month

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Using Stem Cells: A Review

This 2021 systematic review evaluated clinical studies on stem cell therapy (SCT) for erectile dysfunction (ED), highlighting its potential as a regenerative treatment. Various stem cell types—adipose-derived (ADSC), bone marrow-derived (BMSC), umbilical cord, and placental—have been administered primarily via intracavernosal injection. Clinical trials reported improvements in erectile function, with some

Effectiveness and Safety of Intracavernosal IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) 100 U as an Add-on Therapy to Standard Pharmacological Treatment for Difficult-to-Treat Erectile Dysfunction: A Case Series

This 2022 case series evaluated the safety and efficacy of intracavernosal injection (ICI) of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) 100 U as an adjunct to standard pharmacological treatments (PDE5 inhibitors or PGE1 ICIs) in 66 men with difficult-to-treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Approximately 52% of patients achieved a clinically meaningful improvement in International Index

The Effect of Intracavernosal Injection of Stem Cell in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients: A Randomized Single-blinded Clinical Trial

This 2021 randomized, single-blind clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of intracavernosal injection of autologous oral mucosa-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in 20 diabetic men with erectile dysfunction (ED) unresponsive to standard treatments. Participants were divided into intervention (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. The intervention group received a single

Erectile Dysfunction: Treatments, Advances and New Therapeutic Strategies

This 2023 review outlines current and emerging treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED), affecting approximately 40% of men aged 40–70. First-line therapies include oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) such as sildenafil and tadalafil, and intracavernosal injections of agents like prostaglandin E1. Experimental pharmacotherapies under investigation include dopamine D₄ receptor agonists,

The potential role of intracavernosal injection of platelet-rich plasma for treating patients with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction: A GRADE-Assessed systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for treating mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (ED), analyzing three randomized controlled trials with 221 patients. The PRP group showed significant improvements in erectile function based on the International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function
