Water vapor therapy for large prostate glands
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new water vapor treatment for men with a large prostate gland (80-120 ml) that is causing urinary symptoms. The treatment aims to shrink the prostate and improve urine flow without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate that is blocking urine flow. It aims to see which method—Rezūm (water vapor therapy) or EchoLaser (laser using ultrasound guidance)—better relieves urinary symptoms and improves quality of life.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems). Both approaches aim to relieve urinary symptoms while preserving your ability to ejaculate normally.
This trial tests if a special catheter that numbs the prostate (Schelin catheter) works better than standard local anesthesia during Rezum, a steam treatment for enlarged prostate. It aims to make the procedure less painful for men with bothersome urinary symptoms.
