Electromagnetic field therapy vs. exercise for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-drug treatments—electromagnetic field therapy and aerobic exercise—to see which works better for improving prostate function in older men with an enlarged prostate causing urinary problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 75 or older.
- Your prostate is enlarged (over 40 mL) and you have a PSA level between 4 and 10 ng/mL.
- You have moderate symptoms of an enlarged prostate, like weak stream, getting up at night, or feeling like you can't empty your bladder.
- You have not had prostate surgery, prostate cancer, or other serious health problems like Parkinson's disease or an implanted heart device.
- You are not taking certain medications that affect bladder function (like antihistamines, diuretics, or some antidepressants).

This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can help prevent or reverse muscle loss and weakness caused by hormone therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer. The treatment is non-invasive and may help you stay stronger during your cancer care.
This trial compares two catheter-based treatments—TUMT and PAE—to see which better reduces severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). It may help you choose a treatment option if medicines are not suitable or you still have significant symptoms.
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.
