ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

We evaluated the effects of amitiptyline, as one of the first-line therapies, on the nocturia of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Between June 2005 and December 2006, 50 patients completed this study(Group I=20, Group II=14, Group III=16). Group I was treated with doxazocin 4mg, group II was treated with doxazocin 4mg and tolterodine 4mg and the third group was treated with doxazocin 4mg and amitriptyline 10mg. We measured the treatment efficacy, the clinical parameters and we examined three days of the voiding diaries at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment, respectively.

RESULTS:

After 4 weeks of treatment, all the patients had significant improvement for the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS) and the quality of life(QoL) score among the clinical parameters and they also showed improvement of their frequency of micturition per 24 hours, per night(nocturnal frequency) among the voiding diary parameters(p0.05). Although there was 1 case of mild dry-mouth in group II and 1 case of mild dry-mouth and drowsiness in group III, none of the patient dropped out due to side effects.

CONCLUSIONS:

We found significant improvement in the IPSS, the QoL score and the nocturnal frequency after treatment with amitriptyline 10mg. Therefore, amitriptyline 10mg would be helpful as a first-line therapy for BPH patients with nocturia.
