Nocturia is a well-recognized symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is commonly treated by alpha(1)-blockers and/or 5alpha-reductase inhibitors. However, the effectiveness of these drugs for nocturia has been reported to be only 25%-39%. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, in the treatment of patients with BPH complaining of nocturia.
This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. A total of 80 men with lower urinary tract symptoms and BPH were entered into the study and were randomized to receive celecoxib, 100 mg at 9 pm vs placebo for 1 month. The inclusion criteria also included a total International Prostate Symptom Score >8 and complaints of >or=2 voids nightly. The efficacy and safety of the treatment were assessed by changes in the urinary flow and symptoms between baseline and 1 month of follow-up.
In the celecoxib group (n = 40), the mean nocturnal frequency (+/-SD) decreased from 5.17 +/- 2.1 to 2.5 +/- 1.9 (P < .0001), and the mean International Prostate Symptom Score (+/-SD) decreased from 18.2 +/- 3.4 to 15.5 +/- 4.2 (P < .0001). In the control group (n = 40), the mean nocturnal frequency (+/-SD) decreased from 5.30 +/- 2.4 to 5.12 +/- 1.9 (P > .05), and the mean International Prostate Symptom Score (+/-SD) decreased from 18.4 +/- 3.1 to 18 +/- 3.9 (P > .05). A statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups (P < .0001). No statistically significant differences were found in the changes in the peak flow rate between the celecoxib and control groups or in celecoxib group between baseline and 1 month (P > .05). No significant side effects were reported.
Celecoxib is effective in the treatment of patients with BPH complaining of refractory nocturia. Our results suggest a novel treatment option for this common condition.
夜尿症是良性前列腺增生(BPH)的一个公认症状,通常用α1受体阻滞剂和/或5α还原酶抑制剂进行治疗。然而,据报道这些药物治疗夜尿症的有效率仅为25%-39%。本研究的目的是调查环氧化酶-2抑制剂塞来昔布治疗主诉夜尿症的BPH患者的疗效。
这是一项前瞻性、随机、双盲、安慰剂对照研究。共有80名有下尿路症状和BPH的男性纳入研究,随机分为两组,一组在晚上9点服用100毫克塞来昔布,另一组服用安慰剂,为期1个月。纳入标准还包括国际前列腺症状评分总分>8分以及每晚排尿≥2次。通过比较基线和随访1个月时尿流和症状的变化来评估治疗的疗效和安全性。
在塞来昔布组(n = 40),平均夜尿次数(±标准差)从5.17±2.1降至2.5±1.9(P <.0001),国际前列腺症状评分均值(±标准差)从18.2±3.4降至15.5±4.2(P <.0001)。在对照组(n = 40),平均夜尿次数(±标准差)从5.30±2.4降至5.12±1.9(P>.05),国际前列腺症状评分均值(±标准差)从18.4±3.1降至18±3.9(P>.05)。两组之间存在统计学显著差异(P <.0001)。塞来昔布组和对照组之间的最大尿流率变化以及塞来昔布组基线和1个月之间的最大尿流率变化均无统计学显著差异(P>.05)。未报告明显的副作用。
塞来昔布治疗主诉难治性夜尿症的BPH患者有效。我们的结果为此常见病症提供了一种新的治疗选择。
