Local anesthesia for Rezum treatment of enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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 a new device designed to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as frequent or difficult urination. It may help improve urine flow and reduce discomfort without traditional surgery.
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.
