Electric pulse treatment for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares a new treatment that uses high-frequency electric pulses to shrink the prostate, versus standard care for enlarged prostate (BPH). It aims to relieve symptoms like frequent or difficult urination with a minimally invasive option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe urinary symptoms, scoring 13 or higher on the IPSS test.
- Your prostate is between 30 and 150 ml in size, as measured by MRI or ultrasound.
- Your urine flow rate is slow, at or below 15 ml per second, with a confirmed voided volume of at least 125 ml.
- You do not have prostate cancer or suspicious lesions (if your PSA is high, you'll need additional tests to rule out cancer).
- You have not had prior prostate surgery, pelvic radiation, or bladder/urethral issues, and you have no active urinary infection.
- You can safely pause blood thinners if needed, and you have no metal implants like a pacemaker that would interfere with the procedure.

This study tests a treatment using focused ultrasound waves to shrink prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow in men with an enlarged prostate (also called BPH). The goal is to relieve urinary symptoms without traditional surgery.
This trial tests a new procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE) that uses electrical pulses to treat an enlarged prostate. It aims to improve urinary symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and might offer an alternative to surgery.
This study tests a new device called the Steep Pulse Therapy System that uses short electrical pulses to destroy extra prostate tissue without cutting. It is for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms who have not had prior prostate surgery.
This study tests a new device that uses electrical pulses to treat an enlarged prostate without surgery or heat. It aims to relieve urinary symptoms like weak flow and frequent urination, and may be an option if you have moderate to severe symptoms.
This trial tests a new device that uses pulsed electric fields to shrink an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). It's for men who have tried medication but still have bothersome symptoms.
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. It aims to see if HIFU can safely relieve symptoms like weak urine flow and frequent urination.
