ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at Baihuanshu (BL30) and Huiyang (BL35) in treating chronic abacterial prostatitis.MethodSixty patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis were divided into a treatment group(n=30) and a control group (n=30), respectively to receive electroacupuncture plus Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal medicine alone.ResultAfter intervention, the scores of National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis symptom index (NIH-CPS) dropped in both treatment and control groups, while the decrease was more significant in the treatment group (P<0.05); the pain or discomfort score from the NIH-CPS dropped in both groups, while the decrease was more marked in the treatment group (P<0.05).ConclusionElectroacupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine both are effective in treating chronic abacterial prostatitis, and electroacupuncture plus Chinese herbal medicine can produce a more significant efficacy than Chinese herbal medicine alone.
