This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation) can help reduce bladder control problems (urinary incontinence) after surgery to remove the prostate. It is for men with localized prostate cancer who are about to have prostate removal surgery.
This trial tests if adding electroacupuncture (a gentle, needle-based therapy with mild electric pulses) can reduce pain and discomfort during a prostate biopsy. It may help men who are anxious about the procedure.
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 study tests whether starting acupuncture early after prostate surgery helps improve urinary symptoms in men with enlarged prostates. It may provide a non-drug option to ease discomfort during recovery.
This trial studies whether electrical acupuncture can reduce urine leakage (incontinence) after prostatectomy. It is meant for people a few weeks to months after surgery whose cancer markers and symptoms suggest they may be good candidates.
This trial studies whether electroacupuncture can improve symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is non-cancer prostate enlargement. If you have frequent urination or weak urine flow for at least a few months, acupuncture treatment may help relieve those symptoms.
