Rezūm vs. EchoLaser for Enlarged Prostate Middle Section
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive heat-based treatments for enlarged prostate glands that are causing urinary symptoms. Both treatments target the middle lobe of the prostate, which often causes the most obstruction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male aged 50 or older
- You have an enlarged prostate causing moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms (difficulty urinating, frequent trips to the bathroom)
- Your prostate volume is between 30–80 mL, confirmed by ultrasound or MRI
- You have an enlarged middle section of the prostate that is blocking urine flow
- Your urinary flow is slow (5–15 mL per second) with normal bladder capacity
- You have not had prior prostate surgery for similar symptoms

This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical procedures for an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems. Both procedures aim to improve urinary flow while preserving your ability to ejaculate normally.
This trial compares two laser treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose symptoms did not improve with medicine. It may help find which laser approach works better for improving urine flow and symptom relief.
This study tests a new treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate. It may help men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms who have not had prior prostate surgery.
This trial tests a treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate, which can make urinating difficult. It may help if your symptoms are bothersome and other treatments haven't worked or aren't right for you.
This study tests a treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to reduce an enlarged prostate. It may help men with BPH who are already scheduled for this procedure.
This trial tests if a special catheter that numbs the prostate (Schelin catheter) works better than standard local anesthesia during Rezum, a steam treatment for enlarged prostate. It aims to make the procedure less painful for men with bothersome urinary symptoms.
