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.
