Methods: Sixty-six type Ⅲ prostatitis patients with dampness-heat and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into the treatment group(GHF) and the control group(tamsulosin) using a random number table, with 33 cases each group. The treatment group received GHF twice a day, and the control group received tamsulosin 0.2 mg once daily before bedtime. Patients in both groups received treatment for 6 weeks and was followed up for 2 weeks. The outcomes included the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI) score, Chinese Medicine Symptoms Score(CMSS), expressed prostatic secretions(EPS) and adverse events(AEs). Results: After treatment, the NIH-CPSI total score and domain scores of pain discomfort, urination and quality of life decreased significantly from the baseline in both groups(P<0.05). The CMSS score decreased in both groups(P<0.05). The white blood cell(WBC) count decreased and lecithin body count increased in both groups(P<0.05). GHF showed a more obvious advantage in reducing the pain discomfort and quality of life domain scores of NIH-CPSI, reducing the CMSS score, increasing the improvement rate of the WBC and lecithin body counts, compared with the control group(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in decreasing urination domain score of NIH-CPSI between two groups(P>0.05). In addition, no serious AEs were observed. Conclusion: GHF is effective in treating type Ⅲ prostatitis patients with dampness-heat and blood stasis syndrome without serious AEs.(Registration No. ChiCTR1900026966)展开更多
目的:研究针刺曲骨穴辅助治疗Ⅲ型前列腺炎(CP/CPPS)的近远期疗效。方法:将90例CP/CPPS患者按数字表法随机分为两组,对照组45例用甲磺酸左氧氟沙星片0.5 g口服,1次/d+盐酸特拉唑嗪片2 mg睡前服,治疗组45例在对照组治疗基础上加针刺曲骨...目的:研究针刺曲骨穴辅助治疗Ⅲ型前列腺炎(CP/CPPS)的近远期疗效。方法:将90例CP/CPPS患者按数字表法随机分为两组,对照组45例用甲磺酸左氧氟沙星片0.5 g口服,1次/d+盐酸特拉唑嗪片2 mg睡前服,治疗组45例在对照组治疗基础上加针刺曲骨穴进行治疗,疗程均为4周。疗程结束后,所有病例4周后均随访,记录复发人数及复发时间,计算并比较治疗后两组间NIH慢性前列腺炎症状评分表(CPSI)、生活质量(QoL)评分、Zung抑郁量表评分以及复发率和复发时间。结果:治疗后,治疗组尿频、尿急、尿不尽、小腹会阴疼痛不适、抑郁情绪等症状明显缓解;与对照组比较,治疗组CPSI(8.6±2.12 vs 6.2±2.25,P<0.05)、QoL评分(6.0±1.33 vs 3.4±1.71,P<0.01)、Zung评分(43.9±4.53 vs 33.6±3.20,P<0.01)显著下降,差异明显。结论:针刺曲骨穴辅助治疗CP/CPPS,可明显改善患者的临床症状、提高抗菌药物的治疗效果,并有助于减少CP/CPPS的复发率、延长复发时间。展开更多
