About this study

Official title: Randomised Intervention Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Men With BPH and OAB Treated With Silodosin - The SILODOSING Study

This study will evaluate the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and overactive bladder treated with Silodosin.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomised-intervention, parallel, multicentre study which will evaluate the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and overactive bladder treated with silodosin.

Being tested
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with suppressive urgency technique
Keywords
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, overactive bladder, silodosin, pelvic floor muscle training
Medical subject headings
Prostatic Hyperplasia, Urinary Bladder, Overactive

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with suppressive urgency techniqueBehavioural

    Pelvic floor muscle training with suppressive urgency technique:

    1. Education about proper urination training in the period without pathological urgency.
    2. Education about conscious urgency suppression through PFMT - suppressive urgency technique.
    3. Education on the principle and effect of PFMT.
    4. Exercises of varying intensity of pelvic floor muscles in different positions.
    5. Exercises to relax the pelvic floor muscles. Exercise 5 times a week for 20-30 minutes a day.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in the number of voidings and intensity of urgencies during 24 hours using a micturition diary.

    The investigators will compare change in the number of voidings and the intensity of urgencies during 24 hours in the combined silodosin and pelvic floor muscle training to silodosin treatment alone.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in lower urinary tract symptoms.

    To examine changes in the score of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) in the combined silodosin and pelvic floor muscle training to silodosin treatment alone. 0 = minimum score, 35 = maximum score.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

  2. Change in incontinence quality of life .

    To examine change in incontinence quality of life by Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB - q) in the combined silodosin and pelvic floor muscle training to silodosin treatment alone.

    0 = the worst to 100 = the best quality of life.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

  3. Change in patient global impression of improvement

    To examine changes in patient global impression of improvement in the combined silodosin and pelvic floor muscle training to silodosin treatment alone . 1 = much better. 7 = definitely worse.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

  4. Incidence of adverse events .

    To examine the incidence of adverse events in the combined silodosin and pelvic floor muscle training to silodosin treatment alone.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with suppressive urgency technique in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Overactive Bladder, run by Comenius University at 1 site in Slovakia.

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 8 inclusion and 18 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2023. 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 Slovakia. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in the number of voidings and intensity of urgencies during 24 hours using a micturition diary. (time frame: over 12 weeks of treatment). 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 7 Dec 2023.
