Summary

This study tests whether starting acupuncture before the urinary catheter is removed can help men regain bladder control faster after prostate cancer surgery. 144 men will receive either real or sham acupuncture, then their urine leakage will be measured. The goal is to see if early treatment reduces the common problem of incontinence after prostatectomy.
