Probe compression after prostate biopsy to reduce complications
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.

This study tests whether TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin) can help reduce pain when combined with numbing medicine during a prostate biopsy procedure. The goal is to see if this may make the biopsy more comfortable for patients.
This trial tests a robot-assisted method for taking prostate biopsies using a new type of ultrasound probe. It may help men with certain high-risk features get a more precise diagnosis.
This study tests whether structured nursing care during and after a prostate biopsy can improve your experience and outcomes. It may help reduce discomfort or anxiety related to the procedure.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a prostate biopsy (a needle procedure to check for cancer) reduces infections. You would receive either standard care or a specific antibiotic plan, and researchers will track any infections that develop.
This trial is testing a more personalized way to perform prostate biopsies. It's for men who have a suspicious finding on exam or imaging, or a higher PSA level, and who have had a special MRI that suggests cancer. The goal is to improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
This trial tests whether taking Tamsulosin before a prostate biopsy can help prevent short-term urination problems. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a biopsy and haven't taken similar drugs recently.
