We determined the feasibility of conducting a randomized clinical trial designed to compare 2 methods manual therapy (myofascial physical and global therapeutic massage) in patients with urological chronic pelvic pain syndromes.We recruited 48 subjects prostatitis/chronic syndrome or interstitial cystitis/painful bladder at 6 centers. Eligible were myofascial massage scheduled receive up 10 weekly treatments 1 hour each. Criteria assess included adherence therapists prescribed protocol as by...

A perspective on the neurobehavioral component of etiology chronic prostatitis (CP) and pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is emerging. We evaluated a new approach to treatment CP/CPPS with Stanford developed protocol using myofascial trigger point assessment release therapy (MFRT) in conjunction paradoxical relaxation (PRT).A total 138 men refractory traditional were treated for at least 1 month MFRT/PRT by team comprising urologist, physiotherapist psychologist. Symptoms assessed symptom survey...

In men with chronic prostatitis-chronic pelvic pain syndrome, treatment alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers early in the course of disorder has been reported to be effective some, but not all, relatively small randomized trials.We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluate efficacy alfuzosin, an blocker, reducing symptoms syndrome. Participation study required diagnosis condition within preceding 2 years and no previous blocker. Men were randomly...

A combination of manual physiotherapy and specific relaxation training effectively treats patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. However, little information exists on myofascial trigger points symptoms. We documented relationships between point sites symptoms in men syndrome.We randomly selected a cohort 72 who underwent treatment from 2005 to 2008. Patients self-reported up 7 before whether palpation internal external muscle reproduced the pain. Fisher's exact test...

Background-Evidence suggests that the urogenital pain of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic syndrome (CP/CPPS) may be neuropathic.Methods-This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted across 10 tertiary care centers in North America to determine whether pregabalin, which has been proved effective other syndromes, is reducing CP/CPPS symptoms.In 2006-2007, 324 men with for at least 3 previous 6 months were enrolled this study.Men randomly assigned receive pregabalin or...

Abnormal regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and diurnal cortisol rhythms are associated with several pain chronic inflammatory conditions. Chronic stress may have a role in disorder prostatitis/chronic pelvic syndrome related to initiation or exacerbation syndrome. We tested hypothesis that men disturbances psychosocial profiles function.A total 45 20 age matched, asymptomatic controls completed psychometric self-report questionnaires including Type A personality test,...

Non-bacterial prostatitis is a common affliction among men and lacks objective criteria for clear identification. We studied 43 consecutive patients 20 normal controls the presence of bacteria quantitation prostatic secretion leukocytes. Significantly greater numbers macrophages per volume were found in patients. Multiple observations such increased leukocyte proliferation could be used to establish true inflammation.

It has been proposed that liposomes (phospholipid bilayer vesicles) could be used to entrap enzymes or drugs and then administered intravenously patients as a natural molecule metabolized. After liposome degradation, the entrapped molecules would released at higher concentrations in target tissues.
