Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for post-prostatectomy incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation applied to the perineum or the anus can help men who have urine leaks after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find which method works better to regain bladder control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your catheter was removed between 1 month and 1 year ago.
- You are willing to fill out quality-of-life surveys.
- You understand the procedures and can give written consent.

This study tests a treatment called tibial nerve stimulation, which uses a small needle near the ankle to send gentle pulses to nerves that help control the bladder. It may help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery.
This study tests a non-invasive (no surgery or needles) electrical stimulation device to help men regain bladder control after prostate removal surgery. The device uses gentle electrical pulses on the pelvic floor muscles to retrain them and reduce urine leakage.
This trial compares two types of pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices to see which one works better in reducing urine leakage in women with mixed urinary incontinence (a combination of stress and urge incontinence). Participating might help you find an effective, non-drug treatment option.
This trial tests a noninvasive magnetic chair treatment to help men who leak urine after having their prostate removed robotically. The goal is to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce or stop leakage.
This study tests whether a high-intensity electromagnetic therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic fields) combined with pelvic floor exercises can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine). It aims to compare this combination to pelvic floor exercises alone.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for overactive bladder (sudden, frequent urges to pee) in women who haven't gotten relief from standard medications. One treatment uses a vaginal probe, the other uses pads on the perineum (area between the vagina and anus). Both aim to calm the bladder muscles.
