New study: aerobic exercise and relaxation may boost recovery after prostate cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07172854
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding aerobic exercise (walking on a treadmill) and relaxation training to standard pelvic floor muscle training helps men recover bladder control and sexual function after prostate cancer surgery. Forty-eight men who had nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy within the past year will be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus the extra exercises. The goal is to see if a more complete rehab program improves quality of life.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better rehabilitation program to help men recover bladder control and sexual function after prostate cancer surgery.
