In this preliminary, randomized study, 35 men were pretreated for 3 months with finasteride or placebo
A prospective randomized trial comparing transurethral prostatic resection and clean intermittent self-catheterization in men with chronic urinary retention
The present results emphasize the usefulness of CISC in ensuring the recovery of bladder function in men with CUR
Comparison of tamsulosin and naftopidil for efficacy and safety in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia: A randomized controlled trial
This study suggests that naftopidil is as effective and safe as tamsulosin
Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia using transurethral microwave thermotherapy and dilatation with double-balloon catheter
Combined TUMT and BD achieves sufficient subjective and objective improvement and a sustainable long-term effect
Long-term results of microwave thermotherapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia
While improvement in voiding symptoms and Quality of Life scores were maintained without the need for adjuvant treatment
Dutasteride: A dual 5-(alpha) reductase inhibitor for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia
Clinical trials, sponsored primarily by the manufacturer, have shown dutasteride to be an effective treatment of BPH
A novel approach to the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
The combined (alpha) (1)- and postsynaptically selective (alpha)(2)-blocker GYKI-16084 significantly improved the AUA symptom scores
Three months' treatment with the (alpha)(1)-blocker alfuzosin does not affect total or transition zone volume of the prostate
Treatment with (alpha)(1)-adrenergic receptor blockers improves lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia
Comparison of 25 and 75 mg/day naftopidil for lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia: A prospective, randomized controlled study
Starting administration at 75 mg/day rather than 25mg/day is helpful for LUTS associated with BPH for patients with moderate symptoms, particularly in improving voiding symptoms
