Trial summary

Lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS) are the main symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), a benign but progressive disease which can advance to be with overactive bladder(OAB) symptoms. Moreover, LUTS and OAB symptoms can badly influence patients' especially the elderly's quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Influence of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia on Bladder Function: A Multi-centre, Prospective and Case-control Study

Lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS) are the main symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), a benign but progressive disease which can advance to be with overactive bladder(OAB) symptoms. Moreover, LUTS and OAB symptoms can badly influence patients' especially the elderly's quality of life. Therefore, it appears to be urge to carry out researches on the functional impairment of bladder along with the advance of BPH. Besides, the management aimed at improving the LUTS and OAB symptoms come to be the key one among the management of BPH. For a long period, medication and surgery sustain to be the two most common therapies for BPH patients. Both patients and urologists prefer pharmacotherapeutics to surgery,which contributes to the rising number of BPH patients companied with OAB symptoms and storing symptoms complaint post-surgery. In fact, investigators usually find bladder impairment macroscopically in the BPH surgery: mild may be the trabeculation, worse can be the cabin, and severe may be the diverticula. Furthermore, it's not uncommon that patients with a long BPH history continually suffer from dysuria after surgery due to the detrusor muscle weakness. Consequently, investigators need to catch a moment when investigators should operate on such a patient in order to harvest a satisfying outcome. And perhaps the moment should be ahead of the existing guideline suggests. Thus, for understanding the influence of BPH on bladder function, investigators plan to conduct a prospective, case-control study recruiting in-patients with different degree of obstruction. Our team wish that such a clinical trail could provide valuable evidence for us to find out relatively better operating timing and serial indications. For the purpose of improving the quality of life and prolong life-span, investigators design the study above to maximum the operating outcome and minimize the bladder dysfunction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by Xiangfu Zhou at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiangfu Zhou, Professor (+8618922102997, xiangfuzhou1962@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

IPSS (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Mar 2017.
