To explore a more optimal therapy for chronic prostatitis.
Ninty cases of chronic prostitis were randomized into a warming-promoting needling and target penetrating needling method group (WT group), a conventional acupuncture group (CA group) and a medication group (M group), 30 cases in each one. The warming-promoting needling method was applied at Zhongji (CV 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qihai (CV 6), Daheng (SP 15), Qichong (ST 30) in the WT group, the needling sensation was targeted towards the prostate, once daily; in CA group, conventional acupuncture was applied at the same acupoints of WT group; Qianliekang tablets was prescribed to the M group. For the 3 groups, 10 treatment made one session and 3 days as an interval, the efficacy was evaluated after 3 sessions.
All of the 3 methods were effective for chronic prostitis, the total effective rate in the WT group was 93.3% (28/30), which was superior to 73.3% (22/30, P < 0.05) in the CA group and 63.3% (19/30, P < 0.01) in the M group. The curative rate in the WT group was 80.0% (24/30), which was superior to 46.6% (14/30) in the CA group and 30.0% (9/30) in the M group (both P < 0.001).
The warming-promoting needling and target penetrating needling method achieve superior efficacy on chronic prostatitis as compared with conventional acupuncture and Qianliekang tablets.
探索更优化的慢性前列腺炎治疗方法。
将90例慢性前列腺炎患者随机分为温针透刺法组（WT组）、传统针刺组（CA组）和药物组（M组），每组30例。WT组选取中级（CV 3）、关元（CV 4）、气海（CV 6）、大横（SP 15）、气冲（ST 30）进行温针治疗，针感向前列腺方向传导，每日1次；CA组在与WT组相同穴位采用传统针刺；M组口服前列康片。3组均10次治疗为1个疗程，疗程间隔3天，3个疗程后评价疗效。
3种方法对慢性前列腺炎均有疗效，WT组总有效率为93.3%（28/30），优于CA组的73.3%（22/30，P<0.05）和M组的63.3%（19/30，P<0.01）。WT组治愈率为80.0%（24/30），优于CA组的46.6%（14/30）和M组的30.0%（9/30）（均P<0.001）。
与传统针刺和前列康片相比，温针透刺法治疗慢性前列腺炎疗效更佳。
