First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the pelvic floor muscles to help men who have bladder leakage after prostate cancer treatment. About 41 men with moderate leakage for at least 6 months will use the device at home for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. The main goal is to see if the device reduces the amount of urine leaked, measured by weighing pads before and after treatment.
