Emsella chair treatment for urine leakage after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special chair that strengthens pelvic floor muscles can reduce urine leakage in men after prostate surgery. It may help you avoid needing pads or other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your prostate must be between 80 and 150 grams (about the size of a small apple).
- You must be able to get on and off the treatment chair without help and sit through a 30-minute session.
- You should have very mild or no urine leakage before surgery (score less than 4 on a simple questionnaire).
- Your catheter (a tube to drain urine) will be removed the same day as your surgery, and you will go home that day.
- You must be able to read and fill out surveys in English.
- You must not have had any previous prostate or pelvic surgery, or any condition like an overactive bladder or pelvic floor problems.

This trial tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises can help improve urinary symptoms after prostate surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate). It may help you regain bladder control and reduce discomfort after your operation.
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.
This study compares the Emsella chair treatment to a fake (sham) treatment to see which works better for stress urinary incontinence—leaking urine with coughing, laughing, or exertion. If you qualify, you may get the real chair, and you will complete questionnaires and follow specific rules about other treatments.
This trial tests whether a specialized chair treatment (BTL Emsella) can reduce bladder urgency and overactive bladder symptoms compared with a sham (placebo) chair session. It may help people who have already tried behavioral steps and/or bladder medications but still have symptoms.
This trial compares an Emsella chair treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to help men with ejaculation difficulties. It wants to see whether the chair improves symptoms when other options have not helped enough.
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.
