ABSTRACT
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common condition. However, many of the traditional therapies like monotherapy used in clinical practice fail to show efficacy. There is no one particular treatment to be recommended as monotherapy for CP/CPPS. The new concept of treatment which is ‘UPOINT’ is introduced. The major barrier in treating men with CP/CPPS is the heterogenous nature of this syndrome. In order to treat appropriately, the patient should be evaluated individually to assess the nature of symptoms. To evaluate patients with chronic urologic pelvic pain, a six-point clinical phenotyping system has been developed. The clinical domains are urinary symptoms, psychosocial dysfunction, organ specific findings, infection, neurologic/systemic, and tenderness of muscles, which produces the acronym ‘UPOINT’. This clinical phenotyping system may provide a useful and clinically relevant framework for multimodal therapy for the treatment of CP/CPPS. However, the concept of UPOINT needs randomization, placebo or sham control studies to show verified treatment.
