NCT ID NCT07426861
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a structured nurse-led education session before prostate cancer surgery, plus a direct referral to pelvic floor physiotherapy, can reduce urinary incontinence afterward. Eighty men having their prostate removed will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the new bundle. The main goal is to see if they use fewer pads per day three months after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse-led education session and direct referral to pelvic floor physiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to help men regain bladder control faster after prostate removal.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals. The intervention is behavioral, so success depends on patient engagement and adherence.
