Summary
This trial tests the efficacy of the Elidah device for reducing urinary incontinence in men following prostate cancer treatment.
Who is the study for?
Men who have experienced urinary incontinence for at least 6 months following prostate cancer treatment are eligible. They must suffer from stress or urge urinary incontinence, with moderate severity of 1-5 leaks per day and use at least one pad daily. Candidates should be able to read/write English, be over 18 years old, and have a reasonable level of physical fitness.
What is being tested?
The trial is evaluating the Elidah device's effectiveness on male urinary incontinence post-prostate cancer treatment. Participants will use this FDA-cleared electrical stimulation device designed to strengthen pelvic floor muscles at home for six weeks, followed by assessments to measure improvements.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort or skin irritation where the Elidah device attaches, muscle fatigue from contractions induced by the device, and possible interference with other medical devices if present.
