Observation of the efficacy of elongated needle therapy in treating patients with Ⅲ B prostatitis of stagnant dampness-heat syndrome
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy in patients with Ⅲ B prostatitis of stagnant dampness-heat syndrome treated with elongated needle therapy.Methods A total of 90 patients with Ⅲ B prostatitis of stagnant dampness-heat syndrome were selected and randomly divided into a treatment group(45 cases,2 dropped out)and a control group(45 cases,1 dropped out)using a random number table method.The control group was treated with oral administration of Qianlie Shutong Capsule,3 capsules per dose,3 times a day for a total of 4 weeks.The treatment group received elongated needle therapy at Qihai(CV6),Zhongji(CV3),bilateral Zhibian(BL54)and Shuidao(ST28),with one treatment per day for 4 weeks.Before and after treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI)score were compared between the two groups,and the clinical efficacy was compared after treatment.Results Compared with that before treatment,the control group showed significant decrease in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,testicular pain,urinary fre-quency,unending remnants of urine,scrotal wetness,yellowish urine,urinary symptoms,and quality of life scores af-ter treatment(P＜0.05);the treatment group showed significant decrease in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,and perineal pain,groin pain,pelvic pain,testicular pain,scrotal wetness,yellowish urine scores,NIH-CPSI to-tal score,pain symptoms,urinary symptoms,and quality of life scores after treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment,the treatment group showed significantly lower traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,and perineal pain,groin pain,pelvic pain,testicular pain scores,NIH-CPSI total score,pain symptoms,and quality of life scores than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The effective rate in the treatment group(63.64％,28/43)was significantly higher than that in the control group(88.37％,38/44,P＜0.05).Conclusion Elongated needle therapy can significantly improve the tra-ditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,NIH-CPSI total score,and pain symptom scores in patients with Ⅲ B prosta-titis of stagnant dampness-heat syndrome.It can significantly improve the cure rate in these patients and is particularly effective in relieving pain.
