Haven't seen this study before for PE

(130) Increasing Penile Length and Girth in Healthy Men Using a Novel Protocol: The P-Long Study | The Journal of Sexual Medicine | Oxford Academic

Abstract
Introduction
Various therapies have been utilized to increase penile length and girth, with some exhibiting significant adverse event profiles, including fillers, fat transfers, suspensory ligament ligation, and silicon augmentation. Our team sought to evaluate a novel combination therapy to enhance penile characteristics using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a source of autologous growth factors, penile traction for lengthening, a vacuum erection device for girth enhancement, and nitric oxide precursor supplements to augment penile vascular smooth muscle function.
Objective
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with PRP, traction, vacuum device, and nitric oxide boosting nutritional supplements to increase penile length, girth, and function in healthy men.
Methods
A prospective, non-randomized study was designed (NCT04231422) to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy in healthy men aged 20-55 with baseline normal erectile function and no penile pathology. Penile length and girth measurements were obtained using at-home photography of an erect penis with maximal tumescence. Measurements were obtained at baseline and at monthly intervals x 6 months. PRP (a modified P-Shot ® Procedure) was administered in the right and left corpora under ultrasound guidance once a month for six months using PureSpin double spin system (60cc blood drawn). Centrifuge technical data show an average platelet recovery of 84% and an average concentration of 6.6 times that of the whole blood sample. Using this data, the injection of 10cc of PRP, assuming a starting platelet count of 250K/microliter, would contain approximately 1.65 billion platelets. Subjective erectile function was assessed with a 5 point Likert Scale. RestoreX traction device was utilized for 20 minutes, twice daily, and a Dr Joel Kaplan vacuum erection device was applied with 5-10 mmHg pressure x 12 minutes (1 min x 2, 5 min x 2). Oral nitric oxide boosting supplementation was with AFFIRM, consisting of 3 gm L-Citrulline and 1 gm beet extract.

Results
A total of 32 men have been enrolled, with 16 having complete data available for review. The 6-month mean increase in the size of the erect penis was 0.85 inches in length (95% CI: 0.75 to 0.94, p-value < 0.01) (range 0.5-1.44) with a linear increase in size. The 6-month mean increase in circumference was 0.47 inches (95% CI: 0.37 to 0.57, p-value <0.01) (range 0.2-0.75). Mean age was 32 and mean baseline erect penile length was 5.70 and girth was 5.25. All 16 participants reported better penile rigidity with erections. No adverse events were reported.
Conclusions
Results from a pilot study using a novel combination therapy (P-Long Protocol) in healthy men demonstrated increases in penile length, girth, and subjective rigidity improvement compared to baseline with no adverse effects. External validation is warranted. The P-Long Protocol does not require any synthetic injectables or foreign bodies. It does not preclude additional augmentation procedures. The slope of the growth curve indicates possible continued growth with additional treatments.

You didn’t see this before because it was literally published less than a week ago. Great find, by the way!

So the question is, how would one go about receiving this treatment? And, what’s the cost?

I agree the study is interesting, but I caution everyone to not jump to a conclusion that this is the magic solution. I think it is a positive add to understanding PE but more studies are needed.

We’ve had enough members here who have had the P-shot/prp shot, my self included, who did not see any gains from the process. Some members did report positive results. The standard protocol for p shot is to pump afterwards, which this study also does. This study added an extender into the mix, so there is a difference.

Here are a couple of notes to consider in this study:
Half the starting participants did not complete the process.
BTL Inc is a large medical equipment company, who directly or indirectly funded this study.

I think this is a positive add to understanding PE but more studies are needed.

I may be incorrect, but this may have been undertaken by a west coast doctor along with Runnels, the patent holder on the P-shot. It’s basically a P-shot, ADS traction and pumping. Along with L-Arginine or similar. Nothing really new, just monitored. If you care to view, you can locate my multi month self study with 6+ PRP shots, plus Trimix, plus traction, plus pumping. I did gain, but it’s very difficult to ascribe all to the (very) expensive PRP. I don’t try to talk anyone out of PRP,as I think it at minimum works as a cock tune up.

Went back to look. Brandeis and Runels.

Interesting.

I never realized how below average my girth was / is.

Compared to this study, I was close to the longest but close to the smallest when looking at Girth.

Started at 4.8”. Got it up to 5.25 with a lot of work, but that just gets me to the mean. Fudge!

Anyone who got the PRP get any girth gains? This skinny pencil needs tome thickness!

Pumping seems to give me temporary thickness. Clamping so far hasn’t done much after removing the clamp (although it is still early on that one).

This research project somewhat similar to how oral PDE-5 inhibitors help with growth?

That’s out of 32 guys (or maybe 16, I’m not sure). I wouldn’t get too upset about it. According to all the numbers I’ve seen, you started out just over average in girth, and are now in the 90th percentile. The only place you would be "below average" in is porn.

I’m starting the protocol 7/11/23.

I had a P-shot October of last year and can say that my penis felt young again, but I did not continue religiously pumping after the 60 day prescription. Up to 60 days I was sitting about 0.5 cm more than my baseline girth.

I read somewhere that the PE progress is possibly accelerated with PRP due to faster repairs, but it still requires diligence. We’ll see.

The cost is $5,500 USD with what I assume the breakdown is $750 per P-shot, $500 for RestoreX device, $200 for Kaplan pump, and $300 for the Affirm supplements over the course of 6 months.

I started at 4.625” meg. Have worked my way up to a solid 5”. After a good workout I can manage 5.25” with cock ring for sex, for about 12 hours. I keep telling myself it’s going be permanent gains. Looks bigger, feels bigger , but the tape don’t lie.
