Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS: Peyronie's plaque decreased or disappeared in 12 of the 24 patients, 7 of 9 patients with painful erections reported significant relief, and penile curvature was improved in 7 of 19 cases. Erectile status, narrowing of the penis, and accompanying Dupuytren's contracture did not change in any of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: Although this pilot study shows some promising results of the use of colchicine in the treatment of Peyronie's disease, the ultimate usefulness of this agent will be determined only by a prospective double-blind clinical study.
