Clinical Study on Penis Extender - Italy

Not sure if anyone saw this yet. I’m disappointed that the article didn’t mention anything about erect length gains. Are we going to be able to get medical-grade penis extenders soon?

Nice find, suziesun12. And interesting results.

One of the interesting findings was that girth did not increase - but nor did it decrease, which is a concern expressed from time to time by those contemplating stretching routines.

I have been using moneybar’s vac extender for a couple of years. Base girth gained a little more than 1/2”.

That’s strange.. Maybe erected length wasn’t a part of the study(?) - even though that’s one of the most interesting features of a stretcher.

I’m willing to bet that they used BPFSL as a measure— I’ve maintained for years that that is the only true measurement as it requires no penile cooperation; if they were working with a FSL then girth measure wouldn’t have been meaningful.

The device in question has been around for years- it is the standard noose extender.

Seems to be you’re right there, androNYC. 18% average FSL increase seems to correspond well with another study I’ve read, where new average EL was increased by 19% over a 6 month period. (That was the Andropenis study).

One thing that surprises me is the few hours/day the device was used in this study. I thought 4-6 hours a day was in the low range.

But then I wonder if it is actually the AndroPenis study being cited to?

One never know, but the Andropenis study was carried out in Spain, and this particular one seems to be Italian.

I don’t recall the Andropenis study ever mentioned the FSL either.

This is the abstract
A pilot phase-II prospective study to test the ‘efficacy’ and tolerability of a penile-extender device in the treatment of ‘short penis’ - PubMed

>>RESULTS After 6 months the mean gain in length was significant, meeting the goals of the effect size, at 2.3 and 1.7 cm for the flaccid and stretched penis, respectively.<<

This is a significant development - a rare scientific foray into the world of PE. I think ‘ticktickticker’ is a medical student; perhaps he could get access to the full article and reveal all to the rest of us.

Note the disparity between the simple flaccid and stretched flaccid gains— underscoring our consensus that PE tends to make growers into showers.

Interesting, I’ve not noticed at first reading, thank you andro.

If those Docs had done a before and after microscopic analysis of penile tissue, that would had been very enligthening.

The percentage gains mentioned in this study (32% flaccid, 36% erect) seem very large until you see that the average starting size was 2.82 inches flaccid and 3.79 inches stretched. Smaller guys always grow more on a percentage basis.

I’ve noticed the same; when gains are coming from manual-based techniques, one could suppose it depends on the fact that smaller guys are using more tension/time, but if it happens with a technique that cuts out the psichologic individual influences, what..?

I’ve to say that slipstream made a statistical analysis of our PE data, and said there isn’t any correlation between starting size and gains - not clear to me if he was speaking of absolute or relative (%) gains.

One factor you guys are leaving out. This study was done in Turin, Italy. Maybe the shroud is helping the dicks grow over there.
