A tiny spring implant for enlarged prostate symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new, minimally invasive device called the Zenflow Spring System that uses a small spring to hold open the prostate, which may ease urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is for men with moderate to severe symptoms who are not currently on prostate medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man with an enlarged prostate.
- Your prostate is a medium size (between 25cc and 80cc) and the channel through it is between 25mm and 45mm long.
- You have moderate to severe urinary symptoms (scoring 8 or higher on a standard symptom questionnaire).
- You are not currently taking prostate medications such as alpha blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) in the past 2 weeks, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in the past 6 months, or daily PDE5 inhibitors (like tadalafil).
- You have no nerve or brain conditions (like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, or neurogenic bladder) that affect bladder function.
