Documented treatment
Clinical outcomes should be evaluated based on more than just individual testimonials. That’s why I measure improvements in erectile function using the IIEF-5 questionnaire and track progress over time—both in the overall case review and in individual treatment courses.

What does the research say? →Each case is structured the same way, so you can compare the different scenarios:
01
Starting Level
Erectile function prior to the first treatment.
02
Number of treatments
How many sessions the course of treatment included.
03
Changes Over Time
Measurements taken after 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months.
04
Best result
The highest documented score in the course.
The scale
Higher numbers indicate better erectile function. 25 points corresponds to full erectile function. The score is typically broken down as follows:
5–7
Severe
8–11
Moderate
12–16
Mild–moderate
17–21
Mild
22–25
Normal
The score is self-reported and is one of the most widely used measures of erectile function in both research and clinical practice.

Patient Story
In this video, Mads talks about his experience with erectile dysfunction, shockwave therapy, and sexological counseling. His story illustrates how much openness, professional assessment, and targeted treatment can make a difference when the issue isn’t just about erections, but also about quality of life.

Shockwave
Sexual therapy
Honest Alignment of Expectations
The case studies present five individual treatment courses in which erectile function was measured before, during, and after treatment. They also show that treatment courses vary: Some improve quickly, others gradually—and scores may fluctuate along the way.
Case studies are not a guarantee that others will achieve the same results. Results should be evaluated in conjunction with the indication, baseline, treatment course, and follow-up.
That’s why a treatment course at MS Insight begins with a thorough assessment of what appears to be driving the problem—before we decide whether shockwave therapy is the right next step.
