NCT ID NCT06966804
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether two common blood pressure drugs, terazosin and tamsulosin, can reduce urinary symptoms like pain and urgency after a ureteral stent is placed. 150 adults in Malaysia will be randomly assigned to take one of the drugs or receive standard care for 14 days. Researchers will track symptom scores and painkiller use to see which approach works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Terazosin and Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker drugs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a short course of an alpha-blocker drug reduces uncomfortable urinary symptoms after stent placement, improving patient comfort.
What could go wrong
This is a moderate-sized trial (150 people) comparing two drugs to no drug, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the drugs are possible, and the benefit may be small.
