ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different patterns of urine flow, measured through a test called uroflowmetry, relate to the symptoms men experience with lower urinary tract issues, like trouble urinating or frequent urges, known collectively as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The researchers want to see how these flow patterns connect with survey results from a questionnaire called the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), which helps assess the severity of urinary symptoms. By understanding these correlations, the study aims to improve clinical decisions for treating men with these conditions.

To join this study, participants need to be male, at least 40 years old, and experiencing LUTS. They should be able to complete the IPSS questionnaire and have had certain tests, including a urine flow test and blood work. However, men who have had prostate surgery, have a urinary tract infection, or use a urinary catheter cannot participate. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo standard medical evaluations and answer questions about their symptoms to help researchers gather valuable information for better treatment options.
