Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common condition in urological outpatients, and is often improperly treated for its multifactorial etiology and non-specific clinical phenotype. Doctor Shoskes proposed a clinical phenotype system for CP/CPPS--the UPOINT system, which is a new diagnostic/therapeutic algorithm addressing 6 CP/CPPS phenotypic domains, including the urinary, psychosocial, organ specific, infection, neurological/systemic and muscle tenderness domains. Under the guidance of UPOINT, doctors can give a multimodal therapy for patients with CP/CPPS according to its clinical phenotype, and several clinical studies have demonstrated obvious clinical benefit from the UPOINT-based therapy.
慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征（CP/CPPS）是泌尿外科门诊的常见病症，因其病因多因素且临床表型不特异，常得不到恰当治疗。肖克斯医生提出了一种针对CP/CPPS的临床表型系统——UPOINT系统，这是一种针对6个CP/CPPS表型领域的新诊断/治疗算法，包括泌尿、心理社会、器官特异性、感染、神经/系统和肌肉压痛领域。在UPOINT的指导下，医生可根据CP/CPPS患者的临床表型给予多模式治疗，多项临床研究已证明基于UPOINT的治疗具有明显的临床益处。
