One thing that is still left to be determined is which parameters are best. What should the strength of the shocks be? How many should be given per treatment? What areas should be treated? How often should the treatements be given? Who benefits most?

1-Here is a study that shows that giving two treatments a week instead of just one results in better gains:

2-In this study they looked at the results from a number of studies:

They found:

• It worked for mild cases of ED not moderate or severe
• More pulses per treatment gives better results
• It is unclear if stonger shocks worked better or not
• Improvement was seen after a month and lasted for at least three
• Fewer than 6 sessions is better than more than six

3-This study found that once a week treatments for 4 weeks worked in people with mild to severe ED

4-This study found results after one month that lasted two years:

It helped both mild and moderate cases of ED.

5-In this study the effect of the treatment decreased after the first month:

It involved 5 treatments, once a week. Only 43% got better erections.

6-In this study people got once a week treatments for 12 weeks:

SAGE Journals: Your gateway to world-class journal research

They found:

• 67% success rate
• It worked better with mild cases of ED
• It lasted at least 3 months

I guess the take away is that even with different protocols it gives generally positive results.
