At the risk of being insensitive, how would one go about conducting the sham portion of the study? Certainly not double-blind, but could there be a blind group in this case?

Certainly not double-blind, but could there be a blind group in this case? Wouldn't that tend to confound it? A couple of points in response: (1) The abstract on PubMed links to the free research article; see upper right hand corner of page at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23554844 You can get more details from there if you have not already obtained the article. (2) I quote from the article the following paragraph which describes what they did: |The encouraging results from these two studies led us to |conduct a prospective, randomized, double-blind, |sham-controlled study on 60 men with ED [Vardi et al. 2012]. |In this study, we investigated the effects of LI-ESWT on |erectile function and penile blood flow using the identical |treatment protocol and study parameters that were used in |our previous two studies. For the sham-treatment, we used |a probe which did not produce any SW energy but looked |identical to the treatment probe and produced the same |noise and feeling of a 'hit'. NOTE #1: By hit I assume that it is a sensation like the treatment but not the treatment itself. NOTE #2: Okay, I exaggerated a bit: the treatment is not electroshock but Low Intensity Extracoporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) and the shockwaves are acoustic waves. As the author say: When LI-ESWT is applied to an organ, the relatively weak yet focused SWs interact with the targeted deep tissues where they cause mechanical stress and microtrauma. This stress and microtrauma (also known as shear stress) induces a cascade of biological reactions that result in the release of angiogenic factors which in turn triggers neovascularization of the tissue with subsequent improvement of the blood supply. I imagine one could simulate the effect by putting one's crotch on a high output audio speaker. Continuing the quote: |The demographic characteristics and the baseline mean IIEF-EF |scores of the treated and sham-treated patients of this third study |were similar. We found that mean IIEF-EF domain scores of the |treated men were significantly higher than those of the sham-treated |men. This increase in the IIEF-EF domain scores was also |accompanied by improvements in cavernosal blood flows and penile |endothelial function, as measured by venous occlusion plethysmography |of the penis (FMD). We have been following most of these men |for more than 2 years and they all report that the beneficial response |that was achieved immediately after therapy has not waned (Table 1). (Page 98) I will leave it to someone else to explain exactly how the sham treatment is done. (3) This is my 3rd post to Tips today so no more from me today.
