Urinary Incontinence in Men
Research and more information
Hope Through Research
NIDDK has many research programs aimed at finding treatments for urinary disorders, including UI in men. In addition to the MTOPS trial, which focused on drug therapies to treat BPH, the NIDDK is forming a consortium of seven collaborative Prostate Evaluation Treatment Centers and a Biostatistical Coordinating Center to develop and conduct randomized, controlled clinical trials of new surgical treatments to achieve the same long-term outcomes as traditional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) but with less morbidity, lower costs, a shorter hospital stay, and more rapid recovery. The first trial will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), and medical therapy with an alpha-blocker and finasteride combined. The results of this first trial will provide the knowledge needed by both physicians and patients to make the most appropriate choices for long-term management of BPH.
