dc.description.abstract | INTRODUCTION: Research shows that electrical stimulation to damaged peripheral nerves has promising effects on nerve regeneration and recovery of function. DESCRIPTION: A 71 yr. old male, who was 12 months post left intrafacial and right incremental nerve sparing robotic radical prostatectomy received 6 sessions of sacral electroacupuncture/acupuncture at weekly intervals, commencing 12 months post operatively. METHODS: CARE guidelines informed the case study report. Positive changes in erectile function after electroacupuncture was recorded using validated scores (IIEF-5 and EHS). Qualitative information was collected via a feedback box. DISCUSSION: Given that current treatments for post radical prostatectomy erectile dysfunction are invasive and largely unsuccessful, further investigation into electroacupuncture for this population should be pursued. | |
