Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Ureteral stent (US) has been as essential tool in the urologist's surgeries and is useful instruments that its indications increase due to new stent technologies and improvement of patient's comfort.

US associated with discomfort complications that include lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as frequency, urgency, dysuria, incomplete emptying, flanks and suprapubic's pain, incontinence, hematuria, movement of stent, infection and encrustation of stent. US related symptoms are as same as LUTS due to benign prostate hyperplasia and overactive bladder which relieve with alpha-blockers and anticholinergic. The purpose of our study is to investigate the effect of terazosin and tolterodine lonely and together in comparison of placebo on US related symptoms.

The investigators study will be done prospectively. The patients who underwent indwelling Double-j stent distributed into four groups: 1)receive placebo 2)receive terazosin 2mg twice 3)receive tolterodine 2mg daily 4) receive terazosin 2mg twice and tolterodine 2mg daily. All of the patients receive prophylactic antibiotic and on demand analgesic. After entrance to study, they fulfill the International Prostatic Symptoms Score (IPSS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on the before indwelling US, two weeks after indwelling US and US removal time, then the investigators will evaluate the drug's effect on US related symptoms.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)
Time Frame: Expected average of 2 weeks
LUTS was evaluated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire perioperatively. The IPSS constitutes of seven questions assigned score from 0 to 5 to evaluate the severity of LUTS in patients. Total scoring of IPSS ranges from 0 to 35, asymptomatic to very symptomatic. The more the score on scale is, the worse the outcome is.Therefore, the higher values represent worse outcomes.
Expected average of 2 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of Life
Time Frame: Expected 2 weeks later
The Quality of life of patients was evaluated using single question in IPSS questionnaire in which each of patients received scoring from 0 to 6. The higher values represent the worse quality of life.
Expected 2 weeks later

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain
Time Frame: Expected 2 weeks later
The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain at the time of voiding. This VAS scoring ranges from 0 to 10. The higher values represent worse outcomes, having more pain.
Expected 2 weeks later
