Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two minimally invasive procedures for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It tests whether water vapor thermal therapy or prostatic artery embolization works better to improve urinary symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way to treat an enlarged prostate using water vapor (steam) to shrink the tissue. It aims to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms without more invasive surgery.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate that is blocking urine flow. It aims to see which method—Rezūm (water vapor therapy) or EchoLaser (laser using ultrasound guidance)—better relieves urinary symptoms and improves quality of life.
This trial compares Rezum and Urolift, two minimally invasive procedures that treat an enlarged prostate (BPH). It aims to see which one works better for men who have moderate to severe urinary symptoms.
This study compares two common procedures for treating an enlarged prostate, a condition where the prostate grows and blocks urine flow. One procedure removes part of the prostate through the urethra, while the other blocks the blood supply to shrink it.
