Comparing two treatments for urinary symptoms from enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate. It looks at whether taking an alpha blocker with a plant-based supplement (Serenoa repens/saw palmetto) works better or has fewer side effects than taking an alpha blocker with a medicine that calms bladder spasms (antimuscarinic).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating an enlarged prostate: one uses a laser (holmium enucleation) and the other uses a robotic water jet. The goal is to see which treatment better improves urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
This trial compares two medications, silodosin and tamsulosin, to see which one works better for men with frequent or difficult urination caused by an enlarged prostate. All participants will try both medicines at different times to find the best option.
This trial tests a new, once-daily tablet (H077) compared to the standard medicine silodosin for treating symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the new medicine works as well and is safe.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH) when medication hasn't worked. It looks at which method—bipolar TURP or bipolar enucleation—may be safer and more effective for men with moderate to severe symptoms.
This study is for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms who haven't responded well to one medicine alone. It tests a combination of two drugs (solifenacin and tamsulosin) to see if they improve symptom control and quality of life.
This trial tests if combining dutasteride with aloe vera extract works better than current options to shrink the prostate and improve urine flow. If you have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (BPH) and are not taking certain medications, this may be a possibility for you.
