Pelvic floor stimulation for urinary leakage after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment using mild electrical pulses near the ankle to help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery. It may help strengthen bladder control without the need for medicines or additional surgery.
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.
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
This study tests a special training program using touch and movement to strengthen pelvic floor muscles in men who leak urine after prostate cancer surgery. It may help you regain bladder control more quickly.
This study tests a non-surgical treatment that uses a small needle to stimulate a nerve in the ankle to help reduce frequent urination and urgency after prostate surgery. It aims to help you recover bladder control more comfortably.
