Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)
Time Frame: 6 months

The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) can be utilized to measure the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms.

It is a validated, reproducible scoring system to assess disease severity and response to therapy.

The IPSS is made up of 7 questions related to voiding symptoms. A score of 0 to 7 indicates mild symptoms, 8 to 19 indicates moderate symptoms and 20 to 35 indicates severe symptoms.
