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.

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 trial tests whether electrical stimulation applied to the perineum or the anus can help men who have urine leaks after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find which method works better to regain bladder control.
This study tests if a gentle electrical pulse to a nerve in your ankle can help reduce urgent, frequent, and nighttime urination after prostate surgery for an enlarged prostate. It may offer a non-drug way to speed recovery.
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.
This trial tests a new implant that stimulates a nerve in your pelvic area to help control both stress and urge urine leaks. It might be an option if you've tried other treatments like bladder training or medicine and they didn't help enough or caused side effects.
