Low ‐intensity pulsed ultrasound ameliorates erectile dysfunction induced by bilateral cavernous nerve injury through enhancing schwann cell‐mediated cavernous nerve regeneration

Conclusions: LIPUS promoted nerve regeneration and ameliorated erectile function by enhancing SCs proliferation, migration and neurotrophic factor NGF expression. The TrkB/Akt/CREB axis is the possible mechanism of LIPUS-mediated SC activation. LIPUS-based therapy could be a novel potential treatment strategy for cavernous nerve injury-induced neurogenic ED.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
