Transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing a new, less invasive procedure called transperineal laser ablation for men with lower urinary tract symptoms. If you're a man with these symptoms, this treatment might help relieve them with fewer side effects than traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man.
- You must have lower urinary tract symptoms, such as needing to urinate often or urgently.
- Your doctor must have said that transperineal laser ablation (a minimally invasive procedure) is a suitable option for you.
- You must be willing to sign a form saying you understand the study and agree to take part.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must not have had treatment for prostate cancer in the past, or be currently being treated for it (active surveillance without treatment is okay).
