HIFEM Technology for Post-Prostate Surgery
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial excludes participants who are using medications that cause muscle relaxation or inhibition, so you may need to stop taking such medications to participate.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment HIFEM Technology for post-prostate surgery?
How is HIFEM Technology different from other treatments for post-prostate surgery?
HIFEM Technology is unique because it uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic fields to stimulate muscle contractions, which is different from traditional treatments that may involve surgery or medication. This non-invasive approach can help improve muscle strength and function without the need for incisions or drugs.46789
