First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation to a regular exercise program can help men on long-term hormone therapy for prostate cancer maintain leg muscle strength. About 48 participants will be assigned to either exercise alone or exercise plus electrical stimulation. The main goal is to compare quadriceps strength after 6 months.
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 point toward a way to help men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer keep their muscle strength and physical function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is non-invasive, but the added benefit of electrical stimulation over exercise alone is uncertain.
