Overview
Brief Summary
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, causing bothersome urinary symptoms in men like delay in initiating micturition, hesitancy, and dribbling. For the management of BPH, medical therapy options are available with α-blockers or 5-α-reductase inhibitors, and surgery.
To reduce the risks of associated side effects with these treatment options, alternative medicines (AM) are put into use by many individuals regularly. One of these commonly used AM involves Pumpkin Seed Oil (PSO). PSO contains phytosterols, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6, explaining its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Several preclinical and clinical studies explain PSO in potentially reducing biomarkers of BPH like PSA and alleviating the associated symptoms.
P Grace Capsules- PSO(320 mg) is administered to a total 120 subjects- One capsule twice a day along with food, in the morning and evening, consistently over 12 weeks.
Primary Study Objective: Assessment of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
Secondary Objectives:
(1) Assessing Quality of Life (QoL),
(2) changes in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels,
(3) changes in maximum urine flow (Uroflowmetry), and
(4) reduction in the size of the prostate gland and prostate volume and residual urine volume using an Ultrasound scan.
