Summary

This study looks at how the brain and pelvic floor muscles work together in men who have had or are having robot-assisted prostate surgery for prostate cancer. By recording brain activity (EEG) and muscle activity (EMG) during urination and Kegel exercises, researchers hope to identify brain signals linked to bladder control. The goal is to better understand incontinence and potentially improve rehabilitation methods.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Electroencephalography (EEG), Electromyography (EMG), urodynamics, and questionnaires
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to better rehabilitation strategies for bladder control after prostate surgery.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, so it won't directly test a treatment. Results may not apply to all patients, and the measurements may not fully capture the complexity of bladder control.
