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 called tibial nerve stimulation, which uses a small needle near the ankle to send gentle pulses to nerves that help control the bladder. It may help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation applied to the perineum or the anus can help men who have urine leaks after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find which method works better to regain bladder control.
This trial tests a noninvasive magnetic chair treatment to help men who leak urine after having their prostate removed robotically. The goal is to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce or stop leakage.
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.
