NCT ID NCT07710794

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a small, wearable patch that stimulates a nerve in the leg can help men who still have bladder symptoms after prostate surgery. Participants will either receive behavioral therapy alone or behavioral therapy plus the patch for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the patch reduces frequent urination, urgency, and nighttime bathroom trips.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a nerve-stimulating patch worn on the leg (transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation)
What this could lead to
If effective, this patch could offer a non-invasive, at-home option to reduce frequent urination and urgency after prostate surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The patch may not provide additional benefit over behavioral therapy alone.
