Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effects of low-frequency (50Hz) pulse electrotherapy (LFPE) in the treatment of prostatic pelvic floor muscular spasm syndrome (PPMS), and the influence of this procedure on the temperature of rabbit urethral mucosa. Methods (1) A series of 60 cases of PPMS had undergone LFPE; (2) Thirty-six rabbits were randomly divided into 6 groups: 3 experimental groups were treated for 15 min, 30min and 50 min, respectively, while the other 3 groups served as control groups. Results All cases had been followed for (1～16) months, with a mean of 6 months. Of the 60 cases, 12 were cured, 38 improved, and 10 failed,effective rate being 83.3%(50/60). In animal experiment, there were no significant differences between the experimental and control groups on temperatures of rabbit urethral local mucosa (t=1.3306, P=0.1049). Conclusions The study demonstrates that 50Hz pulse electrotherapy may be effectively applied to PPMS.
