BPH treatment via vein connection for enlarged prostate
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that targets veins in the scrotum to improve urinary symptoms. It may be an option if you have both BPH and a varicocele and haven't had prior prostate surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 40 and 75 years old

- Your prostate size is between 30 and 120 cc (measured by an ultrasound)
- You have moderate to severe urinary symptoms (IPSS score greater than 12 but not more than 24)

This trial tests a new treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate. It may help men with bothersome urinary symptoms who have not had other prostate procedures.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that remove extra prostate tissue to help with urination problems. It may help if other treatments haven't worked.
This trial compares artery embolization (blocking blood flow to the prostate) with standard surgery for urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe bladder outlet symptoms and are looking for a treatment option when medicine didn’t work (or they don’t want medicine).
This trial tests a new device called the FloStent, a small tube placed in the urine channel to help men with an enlarged prostate pee more easily. It's for men who have moderate to severe symptoms and haven't had prostate surgery before.
