Efficacy of Li-SWT on Persistent Storage Symptoms After Transurethral

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

comparing the outcome of low-intensity shock wave therapy (Li-SWT) versus solifenacin on persistent storage symptoms after transurethral surgery for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO)

Clinical Trial Description

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in aging men including both voiding and storage symptoms. After prostatectomy, 20-30% of the patients still have persistent storage symptoms. The pathophysiology of persistent storage symptoms after surgical relief of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) remains unclear. It may be due to bladder changes produced by long standing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) including bladder ischemia and denervation or it may be related to other factors rather than preoperative BOO such as aging, chronic inflammation or a subtle neurological disorder. After exclusion of urinary tract infection (UTI) and BOO, antimuscarinics are the commonly used medications for post-prostatectomy persistent storage symptoms. However, these medications are associated with side effects which may interfere with the patient compliance. Low-intensity shock wave therapy (Li-SWT) is a non invasive procedure that has a beneficial effect in promoting revascularization and enhancing tissue regeneration. It has been applied to the penis for erectile dysfunction and to the perineum for chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) with encouraging results. In a rat model, it has been reported that defocused Li-SWT leads to improvement of bladder innervation and vascularization. Based on the previously mentioned studies, the investigators hypothesized that Li-SWT can offer benefit in improvement of persistent storage symptoms after surgical relief of BPO. In the present study, the investigators will evaluate the effect of Li-SWT on persistent storage symptoms after transurethral surgery for BPO compared to antimuscarinics in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
