Electrical nerve treatment for pain after prostate or bladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment called TENS (a gentle electrical nerve stimulation) helps reduce pain and improve comfort after surgery on the prostate or bladder through the urethra. If you are having this type of surgery and have a urinary catheter placed during it, this treatment might help you feel better during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having endoscopic urological surgery (through the urethra, like prostate or bladder surgery).
- You have an ASA score of 1 or 2 (meaning you are in good overall health without severe medical conditions).
- A urinary catheter (a tube to drain urine) will be placed during your surgery.
- Your surgery is not an emergency procedure, and you do not already have a catheter before surgery.

This study tests a treatment using mild electrical pulses near the ankle to help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery. It may help strengthen bladder control without the need for medicines or additional surgery.
This study tests a non-surgical treatment that uses a small needle to stimulate a nerve in the ankle to help reduce frequent urination and urgency after prostate surgery. It aims to help you recover bladder control more comfortably.
This trial tests a small patch that stimulates a nerve in the ankle to help reduce frequent urination and other bladder symptoms that can persist after prostate surgery. If you still need to urinate often a month after surgery, this non-drug option might help.
This study tests whether TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin) can help reduce pain when combined with numbing medicine during a prostate biopsy procedure. The goal is to see if this may make the biopsy more comfortable for patients.
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation through the pudendal nerve (a nerve in the pelvic area) can help improve bladder and bowel control in children who have tethered cord syndrome and continue having urinary problems after surgery. It aims to see if this treatment can improve their quality of life.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) can help men regain bladder control after surgery to remove the prostate. It may reduce urine leakage and improve quality of life.
