Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia clinical trials at UCSF

2 research studies open to eligible people

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is when the prostate swells and causes urinary problems. UCSF is researching if pelvic floor exercises before laser surgery might prevent urine leaks. A different study is testing if exercise aids older, inactive men with trouble urinating.

  • PRescription Exercise for Older Men With Urinary Disease

    open to eligible males ages 60 years and up

    This is a single-center pilot randomized controlled trial among 68 physically "inactive" older men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) assessing a 12-week remote exercise intervention versus health education control.

  • Group Preoperative Pelvic Floor Training for HoLEP

    open to eligible males ages 50-90

    The main goal of this study is to see if group pelvic floor training before surgery can help prevent urinary incontinence after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) surgery. The study has the potential to inform preoperative intervention strategies for managing incontinence after HoLEP.
