Nerve stimulation for urinary leakage after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called tibial nerve stimulation, which uses a small needle near the ankle to send gentle pulses to nerves that help control the bladder. It may help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 18 and 80 years old.
- You leak more than 8 grams of urine in a 24-hour pad test.
- You had your catheter removed, and it has been between 2 weeks and 1 year since your prostate surgery.
- You have not had other treatments for leakage (like nerve stimulation, magnetic stimulation, or electrical stimulation) after your surgery.
- You have not had radiation therapy after your prostate surgery.
- You do not have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- You are not taking medications that affect bladder function (like antimuscarinics, duloxetine, or tricyclic antidepressants).

This study tests a non-invasive (no surgery or needles) electrical stimulation device to help men regain bladder control after prostate removal surgery. The device uses gentle electrical pulses on the pelvic floor muscles to retrain them and reduce urine leakage.
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
This study tests if a gentle electrical pulse to a nerve in your ankle can help reduce urgent, frequent, and nighttime urination after prostate surgery for an enlarged prostate. It may offer a non-drug way to speed recovery.
This study tests a patch that stimulates a nerve in your leg to help control frequent urination after prostate surgery. It might be an option if you still have bladder symptoms one month after your procedure.
This study tests a nerve stimulation treatment for overactive bladder in men who still have symptoms after surgery for an enlarged prostate. It aims to help reduce the frequent, sudden urge to pee.
This study tests if a mild electrical stimulation on the skin near your ankle (called TTNS) can help calm an overactive bladder. It is for women who haven't had success with or can't take standard overactive bladder medicines.
