针刺“角穴”治疗ⅢB型前列腺炎临床观察

Clinical observation of Jiaoxue acupuncture treatment on ⅢB prostatitis

目的:探讨针刺"角穴"治疗ⅢB型前列腺炎的疗效。方法:90例ⅢB型前列腺炎患者随机分为针刺"角穴"组、坦索罗辛组及针刺对照组。每组受试者30例。以NIH-CPSI为主要疗效指标,试验周期为4周,每2周进行1次疗效评价。结果:各组受试者年龄、身高、体重等基本资料组间比较无明显差异,NIH-CPSI评分基线比较无统计学差异(P>0.05)。与针刺对照组比较,针刺"角穴"组和坦索罗辛组受试者NIH-CPSI评分皆显著降低(P<0.05)。坦索罗辛组和针刺"角穴"组相比,在缓解疼痛和不适方面,针刺"角穴"优势更明显;在改善排尿症状方面,坦索罗辛疗效更明显。结论:针刺前列腺"角穴"改善ⅢB型前列腺炎患者疼痛和不适症状有优势。

Objectives：To investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment onⅢB prostatitis.Methods：90 pa-tients withⅢB prostatitis were randomly divided to Jiaoxue acupuncture,tamsulosin and acupuncture control group,30 cases in each group.The National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index （NIH-CPSI）was measured to evaluate the efficacy of the three treatment groups.Result：At baseline,there was no significant difference in the measured variables among the three groups （P〉0.05）.After 4-week treatment,Both Jiaoxue acupuncture group and tamsulosin group showed significant improvements in NIH-CPSI （P〈0.05 ）.Between Jiaoxue acupuncture group and tamsulosin group,the scores of Pain and Discomfort significantly decreased in Jiaoxue acupuncture group.The scores of Urination significantly decreased in tamsulosin group.Conclusions：The treatment of Jiaoxue acupuncture can significant-ly improve NIH-CPSI in patients withⅢB prostatitis,especially for patients with pain and discomfort.
