Biofeedback And Electrical Stimulation Therapy For Chronic Prostatitis/chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Objective: Using clinical trials, we investigated the effect for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP /CPPS) treatment by combining biofeedback and electrical stimulation.Methods:40 cases of CP/CPPS from outpatient department of xiangya hospital who concidence with NIH consensus definition and classification of prostatitis,were divided into two groups randomly , 20 patients per group. Both groups were treated by the biofeedback and electrical stimulation equipment Laborie-Urostym. The electrical stimulation group(ES) were treated by electrical stimulation, the biofeedback and electrical stimulation group( BFES )were aquired the treatment of combining biofeedback and electrical stimulation.The treatment lasted for two weeks , and 5 times each week.After the course ended,all patients were follower up at 30th day.The NIH chronic prostatitis symptom index score ,international index of erectile function and uroflowmetry such as PS, USS, QLS, IIEF-5,MFR, AFR were compared before and after treatment.Results: After treatment , The scores both groups acquired in NIH-CPSI, PS, USS, QLS were signifcantly descended(P<0.05); MFR, AFR were ascended (P<0.05), there were significant differences between the BFES group and the ES group (P<0.05). The BFES group was superior to the ES group.And those scores in IIEF-5 were obviously ascended(P<0.05) after treatment,but there were no significant differences between the BFES group and the ES group (P>0.05).Conclusions :Biofeedback and electrical stimulation therapy can provide an obvious therapeutic effect for chronic pelvic pains syndrome patients,such as PS, USS, QLS, IIEF-5,MFR, AFR. And Biofeedback and electrical stimulation therapy were considered to have synergistic effect in CP /CPPS.
