Filter by:Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men that is frequently associated with troublesome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can be divided into storage phase symptoms (urinary frequency, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, urinary incontinence, etc.), voiding phase symptoms (interruption of urination, thinning of the urine line, straining to urinate, etc.), and post-void symptoms (incomplete sensation of urination, dribbling after urination, etc.).BPH is prevalent in as many as 40% of men in their fifties and 90% of men in their eighties.Yet, few effective therapiesare available for treating BPH/LUTS. Acupuncture may be an effective treatment option for BPH/LUTS.However, effects of acupuncture on BPH/LUTS remain uncertain because of the small sample sizes or other methodological limitations. The objective of this randomized,conventional electroacupuncture-controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of electroacupuncture at'four sacral points'for relieving symptoms of BPH/LUTS. The results will provide a robust conclusion with a highlevel of evidence.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether prescribing a 3-day course of antibiotics after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) reduces the risk of urinary tract infection. The findings of this trial will have a major impact on clinical practice to either justify the prescription of antibiotics after HoLEP or give urologists more confidence in not prescribing antibiotics prophylactically after HoLEP.
To compare between efficacy of phosphodiesterase5 inhibitors (tadalafil 5 mg) and Alpha Blockers (tamsulosin 0.4 mg) monotherapy vs combined therapy in treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
To determine if use of Moses 2.0 results in improved ablation efficiency during holmium laser vaporization of the prostate. To determine if use of Moses 2.0 results in less char, improved visibility, and improved hemostasis in prostate vaporization.
This is a trial to demonstrate the superiority of prostate artery embolization (PAE) over sham procedure in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) induced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The trial will aim to enroll 108 patients at a 2:1 allocation over a 2 year period.
A post-market, non-interventional, two-arm, long-term follow-up study of patients previously enrolled in the WATER Study (NCT02505919) - which was a prospective multi-centre randomized blinded study comparing Aquablation of the prostate with the AQUABEAM Robotic System with standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
The investigator aims to prospectively investigate the efficacy and durability of the middle lobe only versus traditional complete photoselective greenlight vaporization of the prostate in patients with prominent middle lobe. The investigator will select patients based on pre-op cystoscopy if patients have a prominent middle lobe to participate in this study. Researches will start to vaporize only the middle lobe then, at the end of this step, The investigator will look at the verumontanum into the prostatic fossa and determine if the patient is having adequate opened prostatic fossa or not. Patients with unsatisfactory opened fossa will have a complete PVP of lateral lobes, while patients with a satisfactory channel will not receive a complete PVP. Primary objectives of the study are to look into pre and post-operative uroflowmetry and post-void residual, International prostate symptoms scores, need of catheterization, and need for secondary interventions over five then ten years. Secondary objectives are to look into erectile and ejaculatory status using the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) and MSHQ-EjD Short Form for Assessing EjD. Researchers will follow the patients at three months, six months, one year then yearly for five years then an extension to up to 10 years.
A prospective single centre study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using contrast enhanced ultrasound and echogenic embolic agent Ekobi Embolization Microspheres in Prostate Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
This study compares safety and efficacy of prostatic artery embolization and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated wit benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate improvement of symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) for prostate artery embolization (PAE) with microspheres (Embozene™, 400µm) compared to conventional Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).
