Can a zappy patch save muscle in prostate cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT05745844
First seen Jan 19, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation to a regular exercise program can help men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer keep their leg muscle strength. About 48 men who have been on hormone therapy for at least 26 weeks will take part. Half will get the electrical stimulation plus exercise, and the other half will do exercise alone. Researchers will measure quadriceps strength after 6 months to see if the stimulation makes a difference.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
neuromuscular electrical stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to reduce muscle weakness caused by hormone therapy for prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The electrical stimulation may cause discomfort or skin irritation.
