The IPSS is a questionnairegiven to people to determine if their BPH symptoms have improved. These included urinary urgency (sudden urge to urinate), weak urinary stream, and straining to urinate.

A higher score meant BPH symptoms were worse. The goal was a lower score, suggesting peoplehad fewer and less severe BPH symptoms. The studies looked at people with BPH who were taking Cialis or a placebo. (treatment without active substance). Researchers found that people taking Cialis had a decrease in their IPSS score of 4.8 to 5.6 points on place had a 2.2-to-3.6-point reduction in their IPSS score. This means that the Cialis group saw a greater decrease in the number and severity of BPH symptoms than the placebo group.
