Penile vibrator to prevent sexual and bladder problems after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a penile vibrator before and after prostate cancer surgery can help preserve sexual function and bladder control. It is for men who are having nerve-sparing prostatectomy and have good erections and bladder control before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a nerve-sparing prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate that tries to save the nerves).
- Before surgery, you have good erectile function (score of 26 or higher on a standard test) and are sexually active.
- You are completely dry (no leaks) before surgery, scoring 0 on a bladder control questionnaire.
- You do not have any health condition that prevents you from taking erectile dysfunction pills (like Viagra or Cialis).
- You do not have any disease in your penis or penile skin (such as Peyronie's disease or phimosis).
- You do not have hand problems that would make it hard to use a hand-held vibrator.

This trial tests a penile rehabilitation program for men who have nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery. It aims to help improve erections and sexual function after the procedure.
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 trial checks whether a new implanted device is safe and tolerable to help improve erections after nerve-sparing prostate surgery. It may help men who want to reduce erectile side effects from prostatectomy, but it also excludes several groups who have erection-related problems or nerve issues.
This study tests whether adding aerobic exercise (like walking or cycling) and relaxation to pelvic floor muscle training helps men recover bladder control and sexual function after prostate cancer surgery. You may be eligible if you had nerve-sparing robotic prostate removal in the last year and can do pelvic floor exercises.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise and support program before and after robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery helps men recover better function and quality of life. You'll work with a team to prepare your body before surgery and rebuild strength afterward.
This study tests a new nerve grafting method during bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy) to help preserve the ability to have erections. It is for men who have good erectile function before surgery and have not had previous pelvic surgery or radiation.
