Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology in improving the recovery time of urinary control and quality of life for male patients after radical prostatectomy (RP) and Holmium laser prostate surgery (HoLEP).

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment Group

Subjects randomized to the treatment group will receive 2, 30-minute sessions, weekly for 3 weeks using the Emsella device.

After a 1 week wash-out period, subjects still experiencing urinary leakage will have the option to continue treatment for 3 additional weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

EMSELLA®

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subjects will receive 100% intensity of the EMSELLA® (BTL Industries, Marlborough, MA) High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) treatment, in a single 30-minute session, twice per week for 3 weeks.

Placebo Group

Subjects randomized to the placebo group will receive 2, 30-minute sessions, weekly for 3 weeks using a sham comparator device.

After a 1 week wash-out period, subjects in the placebo group who are experiencing urinary leakage will be offered the opportunity to cross-over to an active treatment group for an additional 3 weeks.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham Comparator Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subjects will be asked to sit on the EMSELLA® (BTL Industries, Marlborough, MA) treatment head which will be powered off and instead have a small remote control vibration device that will simulate active treatment, in a single 30-minute session, twice per week for 3 weeks.
