Effect of acupuncture on quality of life in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a randomized controlled trial
To observe the effect and safety of acupuncture on quality of life
pain
and prostate symptoms in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).
Methods
2
Seventy patie
nts with CP/CPPS were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (35 cases
1 case was eliminated) and a sham acupuncture group (35 cases
3 cases dropped out). The patients in the acupuncture group were treated with routine acupuncture at bilateral Zhongliao (BL 33)
Huiyang (BL 35)
Shenshu (BL 23) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6)
while the patients in the sham acupuncture group were treated with shallow needling at non-meridian and non-acupoint points beside bilateral Zhongliao (BL 33)
Huiyang (BL 35)
Shenshu (BL 23) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6)
without manipulation to induce arrival of
qi
(
deqi
). Both groups retained the needles for 30 min
with one session every other day
three times a week
for a total of 8 weeks (24 sessions). Before and after treatment
and at the follow-up of 24 weeks after treatment completion
the scores of MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36
including 8 dimensions of physical function [PF
]
role physical function [RP
]
bodily pain [BP
]
general health status [GH
]
vitality [VT
]
social function [SF
]
role emotional [RE
]
and mental health [MH
]
which can be summarized as physical component summary [PCS
]
and mental component summary [MCS
]
)
pelvic pain visual analogue scale (VAS)
National Institutes of Health chronic prostatitis symptom index (NIH-CPSI)
and international prostate symptom score (IPSS) were evaluated
and safety of both groups was assessed.
Results
2
After treatment and at the follow-up
the scores of each dimension and PCS
MCS scores of SF-36 in the acupuncture group were higher than those before treatment (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01); compared before treatment
the RP
BP
and SF scores and PCS score in the sham acupuncture group were increased after treatment (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). After treatment
the acupuncture group had higher scores in RP
BP
GH
MH and PCS
MCS than those in the sham acupuncture group (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01); at the follow-up
except for PF and RE dimensions
the scores in each dimension and PCS
MCS scores in the acupuncture group were higher than those in the sham acupuncture group (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). After treatment and at the follow-up
pelvic pain VAS
NIH-CPSI
IPSS scores in the acupuncture group were lower than those before treatment (
P
<
0.01); in the sham acupuncture group
pelvic pain VAS
NIH-CPSI scores were lower after treatment
and NIH-CPSI score at the follow-up was lower compared with those before treatment (
P
<
0.01). After treatment and at the follow-up
pelvic pain VAS
NIH-CPSI
IPSS scores in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the sham acupuncture group (
P
<
0.01
P
<
0.05). No significant adverse reactions were observed in both groups
and the incidence rates of adverse reactions had no significant difference (
P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Acupuncture could effectively improve the quality of life
reduce pain levels
alleviate prostate symptoms
and shows favorable long-term efficacy in patients with CP/CPPS.
