Electrophysiological technique for treatment of chronic prostatiti:Curative effect observation
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of electrophysiological technique in treating chronic prostatitis.Meth-ods:Choose 40 patients of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(chronicprostatis/chronicpelvicpainsyndrome,CP/CPPS)in People's Hospital in Zhijin and People's hospital in Guizhou Province from January 2022 to April 2023,The patients were randomly divided into control group(n=20)and treatment group(n=20).The treatment group received low-frequency neuromuscular electri-cal stimulation combined with drug therapy,while the control group received drug therapy alone.The improvement of prostatitis symp-tom score(NIH-CPSI)and International Prostatitis Symptom score(IPSS)before and after treatment was compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 37 patients were followed up(1 patient in the treatment group withdrew due to hypersensitivity to the electrode;2 patients in the control group were lost to follow-up.)There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups(P>0.05).The NIH-CPSI score and IPSS score before and after treatment were compared between the two groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The IPSS score of the two groups after treatment was compared,the average reduction of the treat-ment group was15.84±0.92 points,and that of the control group was7.17±0.40 points,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(t=4.792,P<0.05).The NIH-CPSI score of the two groups after treatment was compared,and the average reduction was 17.47±0.92 points in the treatment group and 10.56±0.49 points in the control group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(t=6.654,P<0.05).Conclusion:The effect of electrophysiological combined drug therapy is obviously better than that of simple drug therapy.Electrophysiological therapy for chronic prostatitis has definite clinical effect and is worth pro-moting and applying.
