Pre-surgery pelvic floor therapy may speed bladder recovery after prostate procedure
NCT ID NCT06209307
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy before prostate surgery (HoLEP) helps men regain bladder control more quickly after the procedure. About 72 men who are already scheduled for HoLEP to treat an enlarged prostate will be randomly assigned to start therapy either before or after surgery. The goal is to see if the pre-surgery approach reduces the time needed to recover from stress urinary incontinence.
