Results that are measured\u2014not just reported<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Clinical outcomes should be evaluated based on more than just individual testimonials.

Mads\u2019 Story About Erectile Dysfunction and the Road Ahead<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In this video, Mads talks about his experience with erectile dysfunction, shockwave therapy, and sexological counseling.

Honest Alignment of Expectations<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What the cases show\u2014and what they don\u2019t show<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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\u2014and scores may fluctuate along the way.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Case studies are not a guarantee that others will achieve the same results.<\/strong> Results should be evaluated in conjunction with the indication, baseline, treatment course,<\/strong> and follow-up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That\u2019s why a treatment course at MS Insight begins with a thorough assessment of what appears to be driving the problem\u2014before we decide whether shockwave therapy is the right next step.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
