Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of electroacupuncture at Baihuanshu (BL30) and Huiyang (BL55) for chronic prostatitis. Method Ninety patients were divided into an acupuncture-medication group and a Chinese medication group, 45 in each group, to respectively receive electroacupuncture at Baihuanshu and Huiyang plus oral administration of Chinese medication, and single Chinese medication treatment, 4 weeks as a treatment course. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by adopting the Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index by National Institutes of Health (NIH-CPSI). Result The general score of NIH-CPSI dropped in both groups after intervention (P＜0.05), while the decrease in the acupuncture-medication group was more significant (P＜0.05), and it had a significantly higher therapeutic efficacy than the Chinese medication group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Baihuanshu and Huiyang can significantly improve the symptoms of chronic prostatitis, and it’s superior to oral administration of Chinese medication in comparing the clinical efficacy.
