Recruiting
Conditions
Human Trichinellosis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06332235
Lead Sponsor
Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital
Brief Summary

To evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of silodosin in the patients of acute brain injury with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Detailed Description

I.Test drug

1. Name: Silodosin 8mg/capsule

2. Dosage form: capsule (Silodosin)

3. Dose(s): 8mg

4. Dosing schedule: Oral, once daily

5. Mechanism of action: Silodosin blocks the α1A-adrenergic receptors in the prostate gland and urethra, causing smooth muscle relaxation. Since the intraurethral pressure of the urethra is reduced, urine can pass more easily and the urinary symptoms are relieved.

6. Pharmacological category: α1A-adrenergic receptor blocker

II.The process of the experiment (brief describe) Eligible subjects will be randomized to a study medication according to the randomization schedule (a 1:1 randomization ratio). There are 2 groups in this study, with group A (treatment group, silodosin 8mg, once daily, 8-week duration) and group B (control group).

III. The primary endpoint is the rate of Foley removal. The secondary endpoints are the rate of urinary tract infection, residual urine amount and the rate of re-on Foley.
