Clinical Study on Treatment of Chronic Prostatitis with Damp-Heat Stagnation Syndrome by Modified Chaimiao Yin(加减柴妙饮)from Meridians Differentiation
Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of Modified Chaimiao Yin(加减柴妙饮)from me-ridians differentiation in treating type Ⅲ chronic prostatitis with damp-heat stagnation syndrome.Methods From June 2020 to December 2021,72 patients with damp-heat stagnation syndrome of type Ⅲ chronic prostatitis in the outpatient department of Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled.Following the principle of randomization and positive control,they were divided into test group(36 cases)and control group(36 cases).National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI)score,quantitative score of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes,expressed prostatic secretions(EPS)leukocyte and lecithin corpuscles changes,onset time were used as the evaluation criteria for efficacy,and adverse reac-tions of patients were observed.Results Both groups can reduce the NIH-CPSI scores and TCM syndrome scores before and after treatment,and reduce the leukocyte count in EPS.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The recovery rate of the test group was better than the control group.The total effective rates of the two groups were similar,but the improvement of the main symptoms of pain and discomfort,secondary functions,scrotum dampness,upset and insomnia of the test group was better than that of the control group.The onset time of the test group was shorter,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was 11.8%(4/34)in the test group and 9.1%(3/33)in the control group.Without special treatment,the symptoms of patients disappeared.Conclusion Modified Chaimiao Yin can significantly improve the NIH-CPSI scores and TCM syndrome scores of patients,and has a definite clinical effect in treating type Ⅲ chronic prostatitis with damp-heat stagnation syndrome,especially in improving the main symptoms of pain and secondary symptoms of TCM,scrotum dampness,heart trouble and insomnia,and the onset time is shorter.And the safety is good.
