NCT04488068 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
After recruitment, 20 male patients will be assigned 1:1 to either age-matched control (G1: sham) or age-matched intervention (G2: pelvic magnetic stimulation; TPMS) groups using computer-generated process, and baseline parameters will be established. All patients will be instructed by the investigators to perform standard of care pelvic floor exercise for the duration of the study. In addition, G2 patients will receive TPMS, while G1 patients will undergo sham treatment.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04488068
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04488068 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 12 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Prostate Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Sham Magnetic stimulation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04488068 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
