Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections From Cord Blood + Penile Traction vs. Penile Traction Alone in Patients With Peyronie's Disease. Open-label, Single-center Randomized Study
Injection: patients randomized in intervention group will use also penile extender
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections from Cord Blood (CB-PRP) is useful in Peyronie disease.
The primary goal is evaluation of patient satisfaction at 1 and 3 months after treatment completion using the PDQ Questionnaire
Secondary Objectives are:
* Measurement of penile curvature measured with a goniometer with spontaneous erection before and after treatment (1 and 3 months)
* Measurement of penile length in stretching before and after treatment (1 and 3 months)
* Evaluation of the improvement in quality of life, through the Short-Form Health Survey 12 (SF-12) health status questionnaire and through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
Participants will be randomized in two groups:
* penile extender alone
* penile extender + CB PRP injection (1 injection every 15 days - 3 in totalinjections)
