Abstract
Objective
To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture therapy for prostatalgia.
Methods
Sixty subjects were randomized into two groups: an acupuncture group in which 30 cases were treated by acupuncture and a medication group in which the other 30 cases were treated with herbal decoction. The clinical efficacy in these two groups were observed and compared.
Results
In the acupuncture group, 5 cases were cured, 12 cases were significantly improved, 11 cases improved and 2 cases failed, and the overall effective rate was 93.3%. In the medication group, 2 cases were cured, 8 cases were significantly improved, 13 cases improved and 7 cases failed, and the overall effective rate was 76.6%; the overall effective rate was higher in the acupuncture group than in the medication group (P<0.05). Moreover, the total score of National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI), and the scores for pain severity, urinary symptoms and quality of life were reduced more significantly in the acupuncture group than in the medication group.
