@thehowlingdog, I see that a clinical trial is currently recruiting participants to test the Emsella chair's efficacy.
- BTL Emsella Chair Versus Sham for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04133675

Here is a meta-analysis
- An Effective Meta-analysis of Magnetic Stimulation Therapy for Urinary Incontinence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6591355/

I found these and a few more studies using Google scholar. It looks like the Emsella may be promising, but that there have not been that many studies and none that I found specific to men with urinary incontinence due to prostate cancer treatment. High cost is also a factor to consider.

@maxvt has been sharing about his success with diligence in doing regular pelvic floot exercises here. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/760920/

Hi Colleen,

I see that your reply is over a year ago so I wonder if your reply would be different now? I understand that the FDA cleared the Emsella chair and that it recently (Jan,/2023) was cleared by Medicare for approval. Does that mean
Mayo may have the equipment or be getting it? I am a current patient. Thank you.
