Ultrasound treatment for enlarged prostate causing urinary problems
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment using focused ultrasound waves to shrink prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow in men with an enlarged prostate (also called BPH). The goal is to relieve urinary symptoms without traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man aged 45 to 80.
- Your prostate must be a certain size (between 30 and 80 cc), checked by ultrasound or MRI within the last year.
- You should have moderate to severe urinary symptoms, like frequent urination, weak stream, or trouble starting.
- You must not have had prostate cancer, previous prostate or urinary tract surgery, or certain other bladder conditions.
- You need to be able to stop taking blood thinners or NSAIDs (like aspirin) before treatment.

This study compares a new treatment that uses high-frequency electric pulses to shrink the prostate, versus standard care for enlarged prostate (BPH). It aims to relieve symptoms like frequent or difficult urination with a minimally invasive option.
This study tests a laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that is causing urinary problems. It uses a special laser to remove blocking tissue and may help improve symptoms and urine flow.
This study collects data on men with early, low-risk prostate cancer who choose to have a targeted ultrasound treatment called HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). It looks at how well this treatment works and how men recover.
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. It aims to see if HIFU can safely relieve symptoms like weak urine flow and frequent urination.
This trial studies whether a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment can help people with localized prostate cancer while still avoiding traditional full-dose treatment for some patients. It may be an option for certain intermediate-risk cases where the cancer is confined to the prostate.
This trial studies a focused ultrasound treatment called HIFU for prostate cancer that appears limited to the early stages. It aims to treat cancer within the prostate while avoiding treatment spread to lymph nodes or distant organs.
