摘要
慢性骨盆疼痛综合征(CPPS)是男性常见疾病。体外冲击波疗法(ESWT)是治疗泌尿系结石的常用方法,也应用于临床痛症治疗。近年来ESWT开始用于治疗CPPS。现就ESWT治疗CPPS的相关机制和治疗现状做一全面的回顾。
CPPS is one of the most frequent urological diseases diagnosed in outpatients. Shock wave has been widely used in ESWL. Shortly after its establishment in urology, ESWL was modified and also applied as extracorporeal shock wave therapy （ESWT） with weaker energy sources in orthopaedics for the treatment of degenerative and painful arthropathies and chronic pain of soft tissue. Furthermore, shock wave was used to relax muscles with weaker energy. This article presents a detailed discussion on the mechanisms and application of ESWT.
