Restorative therapies (RT(s)) such as shockwave therapy (Li-SWT) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) shots are heralded as options to restore one's natural, spontaneous erection without the need for pharmacologic therapy. However, limited data exists to support their routine clinical use. With direct-to-consumer marketing, numerous clinics across Canada now offer this therapy. We sought to investigate the landscape of RTs for ED across Canada. METHODS: Searches were made online to browse for clinics which were offering Li-SWT and PRP as a RT for ED. Clinics advertising their services online had their public website analysed for preliminary data collection. These clinics were then contacted to capture data on treatment cost, protocol, clinic ownership, training of providers, reported success rates, and administration of adjuvant therapies. Data obtained was then compared against existing literature to assess the accuracy of marketing towards patients. RESULTS: 107 clinics were found offering either Li-SWT or PRP as a restorative therapy, of these, 12 clinics were eliminated without further analysis. To date, data has been obtained for 95 clinics which provided a form of RT. We were able to obtain responses from 68 of these clinics. 53 clinics provided Li-SWT, and 36 clinics provided PRP, 21 clinics provided both forms of treatment. Out of these clinics, 40 clinics provided transparent cost and treatment protocols for Li-SWT, and 30 clinics provided data for PRP. The average cost of 6 sessions of Li-SWT was $2156.67 CAD ($700 - $4000), and for 1 shot of PRP was $1477.61 CAD ($500 - $3000). 61 clinics provided us with data on their ownership, 39 clinics had a physician on site, 26 of these being family medicine trained. 7 clinics did not report any staff credentials, and 17 were of other healthcare modalities, with 5 being listed simply as 'trained providers'. Only 10 clinics provided success rates resulting in an average of 87.3%, with one clinic quoting a success rate of 100%. CONCLUSIONS: Our study has so far found that Li-SWT and PRP for RTs are being largely marketed directly-to-consumer with very little urologic intervention prior to treatment throughout Canada, if any at all. The study highlights similar trends found in the USA, taking advantage of the psychosocial burden faced by patients that suffer from ED, tacking on substantial financial costs with marketing practises that are not transparent about the limitations of these RT modalities.
