Abstract:

This article presents information on the application of apparatus physiotherapy for the treatment of the patients with erectile dysfunction. The authors report the results of the analysis of scholarly research designed to confirm the effectiveness of the physiotherapeutic methods applied for the treatment of the patients presenting with this pathology. Special attention is given to the mechanisms underlying the influence of the procedure with the use of local negative pressure-LOD therapy and shock wave therapy on the main pathogenetic components of erectile dysfunction. In addition, the article provides information about the effectiveness of the modern combined physiotherapeutic techniques including sinusoidal modulated current (SMT) electrophoresis of vasoactive substances and vibromagnetic-laser therapy in the combination with the general purpose methods as exemplified by intravenous laser irradiation. Based on the evidence presented in the article, the authors arrive at the conclusion about the prospects for further research on the development of new physiotherapeutic modalities and their introduction in the practical treatment of the patients with erectile dysfunction.
