Nurse-led education before prostate surgery to reduce incontinence
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nurse-led education program and direct referral to a physiotherapist before prostate removal surgery can help reduce urine leakage (incontinence) after the operation. It may help you recover better bladder control.

This study tests a program that combines exercise, nutrition, and mental preparation before and after prostate removal surgery. The goal is to help you recover faster and keep better urinary and sexual function.
This study looks at how men recover control of urine and sexual function after prostate removal surgery. It also tests if a 12-week exercise program can help improve these functions.
This trial tests whether group pelvic floor exercises done before HoLEP surgery can improve recovery and urinary symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate. It may help some people feel better sooner by strengthening the muscles that control urination.
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 looks at how pelvic floor function and emotional well-being are affected at least one year after prostate removal surgery for prostate cancer. It aims to understand long-term outcomes to help improve care.
This study compares two types of electrical stimulation (one applied to the perineal area and one applied inside the anus) to help men regain bladder control after prostate surgery. You'll be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments, and the study will measure how much leakage improves.
