A Case Control Study Of Using The Jingjin Theory In The Treatment Of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes

Background: chronic pelvic pain syndromes (CPPS) do harm to the malesHealthy, and many methods have been used in the treatment. However, theefficacy is not satisfactory.How to improve the efficacy have become acritical task faced the world medical field including West Medicine andTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The jingjin theory is a characteristicof TCM with the advantage of the strong basis and the clinical proof. Butit is not proved by a clinic study.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the jingjin theory in the treatmentof CNBP.Methods: The trial was conducted between March 2003 and November 2004.63patients who had been diagnosed were randomly divided into 2 groups:the trial group treated with guizhifuling capsule 3 pills three times aday and Doxazosin Mesylate (a-blocker) 4mg per night for 90 days and thecontrol group given only Doxazosin Mesylate 4mg per night in the same way.The efficacy was evaluated by the NIH chronic prostatitis symptomindex(NIH—CPSI), the microscopic findings of prostatic secretion andthe measurement of maximum uroflow rate (Qmax) before and after thetreatment.Result: 60 evaluable patients were stratified. Each group have 30 patients.The results were evaluated with T test or X2 test of Spss 11. 0. The totaleffective rates were 96.38% in trial group and 83.33% in controlgroup(P<0. 05). The INIH-CPSI scores were reduced both in trial group andin control group, and significant differences of reduction were foundbetween the two groups(P<0.05). The microscopic findings of prostaticsecretion and the measurement of maximum uroflow rate (Qmax) were improvedin trial group and had a significant difference from the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion: using the jingjin theory may be a useful method for thetreatment of chronic nonbacterial proctatitis.
