That's not what I read:

Results

A total of 14 studies were found. Non-conventional therapies included platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid (HA), combination therapy of PRP and HA, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), stem cell therapy (SCT), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and H-100. Most studies were limited to animal models and reported modest improvements in angulation and erectile function. Complication rates and cost of each treatment were infrequently reported.

Conclusions

There is limited evidence supporting non-conventional therapies for Peyronies Disease. As such, they are currently not recommended in clinical guidelines.

Congrats, but shockwave does little for most.

I did 5 shockwave treatments, I found it helped with the pain (my worst symptom, was in constant pain 24/7 even flaccid for about 10 months). Unfortunately the pain would soon return.

It may be a coincidence but I also noticed that as I started the treatments the pigment of the skin on my penis started to lighten and the section where the peyronies is has become hypopigmented. The tissue also seems to be slightly less "healthy".

Just my experience though
