Water vapor treatment for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat an enlarged prostate using water vapor (steam) to shrink the tissue. It aims to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms without more invasive surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man aged 45 or older.
- You need to have bothersome urinary symptoms (like difficulty starting urination or weak stream) that require treatment.
- Your symptoms score on a standard questionnaire must be 13 or more (moderate to severe).
- Your peak urine flow rate must be 15 ml/sec or less (a sign of blockage).
- You must have some leftover urine after voiding, but less than 300 ml.
- Your prostate size must be greater than 30 ml (not tiny).

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.
This study tests a treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to reduce an enlarged prostate. It may help men with BPH who are already scheduled for this procedure.
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 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 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.
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.
