ExMI vs. Biofeedback PFMT for Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence
Effect of Extracorporeal Magnetic Stimulation Added to Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Post-Prostatectomy Urine Incontinence: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study looks at whether adding a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment to standard pelvic floor exercises helps men regain bladder control faster after prostate surgery (HoLEP or bipolar enucleation). Some men experience temporary urine leakage after this type of surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either pelvic floor muscle exercises alone, or pelvic floor muscle exercises combined with magnetic stimulation sessions using a specialized chair. Researchers will measure how long it takes for bladder control to return, how much urine leakage occurs, and how each treatment affects participants' quality of life over 6 months of follow-up.
