All the patients with symptomatic lower ureteral stones with <15 mm diameter were enrolled in this prospective study, and were prospectively randomized (programs Plus 1.0 and Plus 2.10; S-Plus, Taiwan) into two groups. There was a total of 146 patients with insertion of a double-J ureteral stent after ureteroscopic stone removal. In group 1, 71 patients were enrolled and they received placebo for 2 weeks. Group 2 included 75 patients who received 0.4 mg of tamsulosin, once daily for 2 weeks. All patients completed a 10-cm linear visual analogue scale (VAS) for evaluating pain and voiding flank pain, and irritative domain of the International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS) before double-J stent removal 2 weeks later. <i>Results:<\/i> The mean VAS for pain was 4.01 in group 1, 1.52 in group 2, and for voiding flank pain it was 3.3 in group 1 and 1.93 in group 2. The mean score of frequency in IPSS was 3.7 in group 1 and 1.55 in group 2. The mean score of urgency in IPSS was 3.82 in group 1 and 1.43 in group 2. The mean score of nocturia in IPSS was 2.01 in group 1 and 0.65 in group 2. The mean score of quality of life in IPSS was 4.21 in group 1 and 1.6 in group 2. All p values are <0.0001 with statistical significances. <i>Conclusions:<\/i> Tamsulosin improved a subset of stent-related urinary symptoms, pain, voiding flank pain and quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000224871","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,28]],"date-time":"2009-07-28T06:24:43Z","timestamp":1248762283000},"page":"66-69","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Effects of Tamsulosin on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms due to Double-J Stent: A Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Chung-Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shi-Wei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chien-Hsing","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00042307-200403000-00011"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1445-2197.2004.02947.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.urology.2005.07.038"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1464-410x.2000.00478.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089%2Fend.2005.19.147"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FPL00007074"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089%2F089277903765444294"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.ju.0000055600.18515.a1"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1474-8673.1992.tb00340.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fpros.2990220404"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1464-410X.1995.tb07709.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.urology.2004.07.020"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.ju.0000132390.61756.ff"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00240-007-0100-x"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089%2Fend.1997.11.45"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089%2F08927790152596352"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1464-410x.1999.00154.x"}],"container-title":["Urologia Internationalis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/224871","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/224871","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T22:48:09Z","timestamp":1745448489000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000224871"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000224871","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-1138","1423-0399"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0042-1138"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0399"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009]]}}}
