Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Neuromuscular Stimulation for Urinary Incontinence After Prostatectomy
This study is looking at a treatment called non-invasive pelvic floor neuromuscular stimulation for men who experience urinary incontinence (leaking urine) after prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate). This treatment uses a device to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles without needing active effort from you. The study aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective in improving continence. Researchers will measure changes in your symptoms using questionnaires. You may be able to join if you are a man aged 18 or older, have had a prostatectomy at UCLA, and do not have certain medical conditions like a pacemaker or active urinary tract infection. The study plans to enroll 37 participants, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Change in EPIC questionnaire scoreFrom enrollment to 3 months after initiation of treatment
The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a validated questionnaire assessing urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal outcomes.
- Change in ICIQ-UI questionnaire scoreFrom enrollment to 3 months after initiation of treatment
The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-UI) short form is a validated questionnaire assessing urinary incontinence.
- ContinenceFrom enrollment to 3 months after initiation of treatment
Continence is measured by number of pads used per 24 hours, with continence defined as less than one pad used per day.
