EFFICACY OF DULOXETINE IN THE TREATMENT OF URINARY INCONTINENCEAFTER PROSTATECTOMIE DUE TO CANCER - Dulox-1

Conditions
We want to evaluate the effect of Duloxetine 40mg BID (80mg daily dose) on the number of urinary incontinence episodes as shown on a 74 days bladder diary, compared to placebo for male which had a prostatectomy due to cancer. We'll also study tolerance and efficacy of duloxetine with Qol questionnaires.
