The effectiveness of a treatment protocol for male lower urinary tract symptoms in general practice: a practical randomised controlled trial

[摘要] Randomised controlled trials have shown the efficacy of several treatment modalities for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in selected populations. The effectiveness in daily practice has hardly been investigated, especially in primary care and is dependent on choices between all possible treatment options and best investigated in a comprehensive study, including all treatment modalities (watchful waiting, α-blockers, 5-α-reductase inhibitors, and surgery).
