温针灸治疗肾阳虚损型慢性前列腺炎疗效观察

Therapeutic Observation of Warm Needling for Chronic Prostatitis Due to Kidney-yang Deficiency

目的观察温针灸治疗肾阳虚损型慢性前列腺炎的临床疗效。方法将78例肾阳虚损型慢性前列腺炎患者随机分为治疗组40例和对照组38例。治疗组采用温针灸治疗,对照组采用口服盐酸特拉唑嗪片治疗。观察两组治疗前后慢性前列腺炎症状评分指数表(NIH-CPSI)评分及前列腺液内白细胞计数,并比较两组临床疗效。结果治疗组总有效率为92.5%,对照组为76.3%,两组比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组治疗后NIH-CPSI评分及前列腺液内白细胞计数与同组治疗前比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗组治疗后NIH-CPSI评分与对照组比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗组治疗后前列腺液内白细胞计数与对照组比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论温针灸是一种治疗肾阳虚损型慢性前列腺炎的有效方法。

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling in treating chronic prostatitis due to kidney-yang deficiency. Method Seventy-eight patients with chronic prostatitis due to kidney-yang deficiency were randomized into a treatment group of 40 cases and a control group of 38 cases. The treatment group was intervened by warm needling, while the control group was by oral administration of Terazosin hydrochloride tablets. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index（NIH-CPSI） and white blood cell（WBC） count in prostatic fluid were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result The total effective rate was 92.5% in the treatment group versus 76.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant（P〈0.05）. The NIH-CPSI scores and WBC counts were significantly changed in both groups after treatment（P〈0.05）. After treatment, the NIH-CPSI score of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group（P〈0.05）. There was no significant difference in comparing the WBC count between the two groups after treatment（P〈0.05）. Conclusion Warm needling is an effective approach in treating chronic prostatitis due to kidney-yang deficiency.
