Treatment
Traction therapy
Traction therapy uses gentle, sustained mechanical stretching to reduce curvature and recover length in chronic Peyronie's disease.
RestoreX is the device with the strongest device-specific trial evidence on this site. The mechanism is mechanical, not pharmacological: sustained stretch over weeks gradually changes how the scar tissue affects the erect shape.
Traction is patient-led and used at home. It rewards consistency, not intensity. Results show up over months, not days.
What traction therapy does and does not do
Best fit: chronic, stable disease
Most of the evidence is in men whose curvature has stopped changing. In the active phase, the conversation is usually different.
Curvature reduction is the headline outcome
Studies report meaningful average improvement in degree of curve. The size of the change varies by individual and starting point.
Length recovery is realistic, not unlimited
Some men do regain length. Honest care will not promise full restoration, but partial recovery is supported in the evidence.
Routine matters more than time per session
Daily, consistent use over weeks is what the studies tested. Occasional long sessions are not the same intervention.
Pain or active inflammation is a signal to pause
Traction is not designed to push through pain. If a session hurts, that is feedback worth taking to the clinician.
