ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CPPS) is a debilitating condition characterized by pelvic pain and voiding symptoms. Pelvic floor tension myalgia is hypothesized to be a contributing factor in CPPS. The therapeutic effect of biofeedback and electrical stimulation for CPPS was evaluated prospectively. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Thirteen patients with CPPS intractable to conventional medication were enrolled. The patients were treated by domestic KontinenceTM equipment 2 times a week for 6 weeks. Patients completed the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI) before and after treatment.RESULTS:
The average score for all 3 domains in NIH-CPSI significantly decreased. Pain domain decreased from 12.9+/-3.4 to 9.8+/-1.7(p=0.002), voiding symptoms from 4.5+/-1.6 to 3.2+/-0.9(p=0.006), and impact plus quality of life from 7.3+/-2.2 to 4.7+/-1.5(p=0.003).CONCLUSIONS:
Biofeedback with electrical stimulation therapy can provide significant improvement in CPPS intractable to medication. Large, randomized trials are needed to confirm its efficacy.
