NCT ID NCT07357324
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding Lingze tablets, a traditional Chinese medicine, to the standard drug tamsulosin can help men who still wake up often at night to urinate after prostate surgery. About 136 men aged 50 and older will be randomly assigned to take either tamsulosin alone or tamsulosin plus Lingze for 8 weeks. Researchers will track nighttime bathroom visits, sleep quality, and side effects to see if the combination offers better relief.
