Gelbard et al[22]Improvement seen in 20 patients (4 had plaque disappearance, 16 had curvature decrease by 20%-100%)2
Gelbard et al[23]Overall, 36% responsed to treatment. Improvement greatest in patients with lesser degree of pre-treatment curvature2
Jordan[24]Significant mean changes from baseline angular deviation and plaque width at 3, 6, and 9 mo2
Gelbard et al[25]Improved penile curvature (29.7% vs 11.0%, P < 0.05 ) and patient reported bother scores for treatment group vs placebo1
Gelbard et al[26]Improved penile curvature (34% vs 18%, P < 0.0001) and patient reported symtom bother score for treatment group vs placebo1
