Electrical stimulation for urinary incontinence after prostate cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-surgical, non-drug treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the skin to help strengthen the muscles that control urine leakage. It's for men who still have urinary incontinence at least 6 months after their prostate cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and at least 18 years old.
- You have had urinary leakage for 6 months or more after prostate cancer treatment.

- You can read and write in English.

This study tests a new artificial urinary sphincter (a device that helps control urine flow) for men with severe stress incontinence (leakage during activity) that has lasted over a year. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help you stay dry. It is not for everyone, so the study will check your health history carefully.
This trial tests a new implantable device designed to help men keep their erections after nerve-sparing prostate surgery. If you are having surgery for early-stage prostate cancer and have good erectile function now, this device might help you maintain it.
This study tests a non-invasive (no surgery or needles) electrical stimulation device to help men regain bladder control after prostate removal surgery. The device uses gentle electrical pulses on the pelvic floor muscles to retrain them and reduce urine leakage.
This study compares two types of electrical stimulation (one applied to the perineal area and one applied inside the anus) to help men regain bladder control after prostate surgery. You'll be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments, and the study will measure how much leakage improves.
This study tests a treatment using mild electrical pulses near the ankle to help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery. It may help strengthen bladder control without the need for medicines or additional surgery.
This trial tests a non-surgical device that uses mild electrical stimulation to treat overactive bladder. It may help if you have a sudden, strong need to pee often or wake up at night to pee.
