Nerve patch for bladder symptoms after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a small patch that stimulates a nerve in the ankle to help reduce frequent urination and other bladder symptoms that can persist after prostate surgery. If you still need to urinate often a month after surgery, this non-drug option might help.
