The approach is gaining popularity for its physical benefits and the positive environment it offers patients.
Game-Changing App Therapy for Men: A Digital Solution to Frequent Urination Woes
New research presented at the European Association of Urology Congress in Paris suggests combining pelvic floor exercises with behavioral therapy through an app-based therapy could significantly improve frequent urination symptoms in men. The Bladder Emptying Disorder Therapy (BEST) Trial, conducted in Germany, is the first to study this approach for treating bladder emptying disorders, showing promising initial results for a condition common in men over 50. The therapy, which offers a non-invasive alternative to drugs and surgery, led to notable improvements in symptoms and quality of life, with no reported side effects. Full trial results are anticipated later this year, potentially changing clinical practice for managing such urinary conditions.
