New device aims to stop leaks after prostate surgery without needles or surgery
NCT ID NCT07534696
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive device that uses mild electrical pulses to strengthen pelvic floor muscles in men who have urine leakage after prostate removal. About 37 men who had or will have prostate surgery at UCLA will try the treatment. The goal is to see if it reduces pad use and improves quality of life without requiring active effort from the patient.
