Summary

This completed early-phase trial tested four drugs (mirabegron, tamsulosin, solifenacin, and tadalafil) against a placebo to see which best relieves lower urinary tract symptoms caused by double-J stents. Over 500 adults who needed a stent after ureteroscopy or kidney stone surgery took one pill daily. The main goal was to measure symptom improvement using a standard questionnaire.
