Curative effect analysis of Longqing capsule combined with perineal triple acupuncture in the treatment of damp-heat type of chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Objective To explore the curative effect of Longqing capsule combined with perineal triple acupuncture in the treatment of damp-heat type of chronic pelvic pain syndrome.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 120 patients with damp-heat type of chronic pelvic pain syndrome,and they were divided into drug group(group A),acupuncture group(group B)and drug+acupuncture group(group C),with 40 cases in each group.Group A was treated with Longqing capsule,group B was treated with perineal triple acupuncture,group C was treated with Longqing capsule combined with perineal triple acupuncture.The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI)score,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,clinical efficacy,and adverse reactions of the three groups were compared.Results The total clinical effective rate of group A,group B and group C were 87.5%,85.0%and 90.0%,and there was no difference among the three groups(P>0.05).Before treatment,there was no difference in NIH-CPSI symptom impact score,pain symptom score,urinary tract symptom score,quality of life score,total score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score among the three groups(P>0.05).After 2 weeks of treatment,in group C,NIH-CPSI symptom impact score,pain symptom score,urinary tract symptom score,quality of life score,total score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score were(1.76±0.21),(9.27±2.09),(5.15±0.05),(4.44±0.72),(20.62±4.25)and(18.35±4.23)points;in group B,they were(2.07±0.62),(13.29±2.25),(5.29±0.02),(4.75±0.65),(25.40±3.20)and(26.35±5.10)points;in group A,they were(1.96±0.56),(13.27±2.24),(5.27±0.03),(4.85±0.25),(25.35±3.22)and(26.37±5.09)points.After 2 weeks of treatment,in group C,NIH-CPSI symptom impact score,pain symptom score,urinary tract symptom score,quality of life score,total score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score were(1.02±0.20),(5.13±1.10),(3.30±0.24),(3.28±0.06),(12.73±2.22)and(12.20±2.08)points;in group B,they were(1.48±0.42),(6.25±0.25),(4.31±0.27),(3.60±0.06),(15.64±2.12)and(13.23±2.00)points;in group A,they were(1.52±0.25),(6.23±0.15),(4.55±0.95),(3.56±0.04),(15.86±2.09)and(13.22±2.13)points.After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,NIH-CPSI symptom impact score,pain symptom score,urinary tract symptom score,quality of life score,total score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score in three groups were all lower than those before treatment;group C was lower than group A and group B;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There were 2 cases of abdominal pain and diarrhea in group A,no adverse reactions in group B,1 case of abdominal pain and diarrhea in group C,and the incidence of adverse reactions of group A,group B and group C were 5.0%,0,2.5%,and there was no difference among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Longqing capsule combined with perineal triple acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for damp-heat type of chronic pelvic pain syndrome,which can be studied more deeply and comprehensively.
