Function of Tamsulosin in Older Males Undergoing Surgery With Indwelling Catheter

This Phase 3 trial studied whether the medication tamsulosin can help older men who have surgery and need a catheter to reduce urinary retention and infections afterward. If tamsulosin is effective, it could lower the chance of discomfort and complications like urinary tract infections after surgery. The study included 87 participants in the United States and has now completed, with results expected soon.

Pain Control During ESWL Using Non-Opioid Analgesics

This Phase 4 trial is exploring safer pain relief options for people undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to treat kidney and ureteral stones. Instead of opioids, the study is testing non-opioid medications to control pain during the procedure. This research could lead to better comfort during treatment and reduce the risks associated with opioid use. The trial is currently recruiting adults in Turkey.

Comparison of Functional Outcomes of Ejaculation-preserving Partial Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate With Complete Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate for Benign Prostatic Obstruction

This trial is comparing two types of prostate surgery for men with benign prostatic obstruction to see which approach better protects ejaculation and urinary function. Preserving ejaculation can be important for quality of life after surgery. The study is enrolling 336 men in France and will observe outcomes over six months.

Reducing Disparities in Urinary Control Symptoms for Minority Women

This study tests an 8-week home-based program combining behavioral and physical therapy for minority women dealing with urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders. The program is designed to be culturally sensitive and self-directed, making treatment more accessible. By improving symptoms and quality of life, this approach could help reduce health disparities. The trial is recruiting 80 participants in the United States.

Helping Men Adhere to Sexual Rehabilitation Following Prostate Cancer Surgery

This study focuses on ways to support men recovering sexual function after prostate cancer surgery through therapy and education. Helping men stick with sexual rehabilitation programs may improve their chances of regaining erectile function and enhance their overall quality of life. The trial is currently recruiting men in the United States who have had prostate cancer surgery.
