New device aims to help men regain control faster after prostate cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07333807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a device called the Pelvic Clock® helps men recover bladder control and sexual function faster after robotic prostate cancer surgery. Sixty men aged 55 to 80 used either the device plus standard exercises or standard exercises alone. The main goal was to see if more men achieved cancer control, continence, and potency together at 6 months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this device could help men recover bladder control and sexual function more quickly after prostate surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 60 participants. The device may not provide significant benefit over standard exercises, and results may not apply to all patients.
