Could a special chair replace kegels for Post-Surgery bladder control?
NCT ID NCT07580404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the Emsella chair, a non-invasive device that strengthens pelvic floor muscles, can reduce short-term stress urinary incontinence in men after prostate surgery for an enlarged prostate. Thirty men with moderate-to-large prostates will receive Emsella treatments before and after surgery. Researchers will track symptom scores and side effects to see if the chair helps speed recovery.
