This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using Solifenacin as a treatment for uSRS as compared to Mirabegron. This study used a double-blinded experimental design. Samples were taken randomly (consecutive random sampling) from fifty patients with uSRS. Data was collected using the Ureteral Symptoms Score Questionnaire (USSQ) as a measuring instrument. Data was analyzed using the mean, t-Test, and Chi-square tests. P values of
