Abstract:Objective To study the clinical effect of pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with fascia manipulation in the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Methods Ninety-eight patients with CP/CPPS in Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from July 2020 to July 2022 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into conventional group and experimental group according to random number table method, with 49 cases in each group. The conventional group was treated with fascia manipulation, while the experimental group was treated with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with fascia manipulation. After four weeks of treatment, the efficacy of two groups was evaluated, and the (National Institutes of Health chronic prostatitis symptom index, [NIH-CPSI]), urodynamics (maximum urinary flow rate [Qmax] and average urinary flow rate [Qavg]) before treatment and after four weeks of treatment were compared, and the safety during treatment was analyzed. Results The clinical effect of experimental group was better than that of conventional group (P<0.05). After four weeks of treatment, the scores of pain and discomfort symptoms, urination symptoms, impact of symptoms on quality of life, and NIH-CPSI total score in two groups were lower than those before treatment; and those in experimental group were lower than those in conventional group (P<0.05). After four weeks of treatment, Qmax and Qavg in two groups were higher than those before treatment, and those in experimental group were higher than those in conventional group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in safety between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with fascia manipulation has a significant effect on CP/CPPS, which can relieve clinical symptoms, improve urodynamics, and is safe.
