To evaluate the efficacy and safety of essential oil treatment for type III chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).
A randomized controlled trial was conducted from December 2014 to October 2015. Seventy type III CP/CPPS patients were assigned to the essential oil group (35 cases) or almond placebo oil control group (35 cases) by a random number table. The oil was smeared by self-massage on the suprapubic and sacral region once a day for 4 weeks. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Syndrome Index (NIH-CPSI) and expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) were examined. The primary outcome was NIH-CPSI pain domain. The secondary outcomes included other NIH-CPSI domains and laboratory examinations of EPS. Adverse events were also observed.
Sixty-six subjects completed the full 4-week treatment. There was no significant difference between almond oil control and essential oil groups in terms of the total score of NIH-CPSI, pain, quality of life and urination domain scores of NIH-CPSI and EPS examinations (P>0.05). In the essential oil group, pain between rectum and testicles (perineum) in the domain of pain or discomfort was significantly reduced at week 2 and week 4 compared with almond oil control group (P<0.01). No serious adverse events occurred.
The essential oil may reduce the pain or discomfort in the perineum region in patients with CP/CPPS. (Registration No. ChiCTR-IPR-14005448).
评估精油治疗Ⅲ型慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征(CP/CPPS)的疗效和安全性。
于2014年12月至2015年10月进行一项随机对照试验。通过随机数字表将70例Ⅲ型CP/CPPS患者分为精油组(35例)和杏仁安慰剂油对照组(35例)。患者自行按摩,将油涂抹于耻骨上区和骶区,每日1次,共4周。检测美国国立卫生研究院慢性前列腺炎症状指数(NIH-CPSI)和前列腺液(EPS)。主要结局指标为NIH-CPSI疼痛域。次要结局指标包括NIH-CPSI的其他域以及EPS的实验室检查。同时观察不良事件。
66名受试者完成了为期4周的完整治疗。杏仁油对照组和精油组在NIH-CPSI总分、疼痛、生活质量、NIH-CPSI排尿域评分及EPS检查方面无显著差异(P>0.05)。与杏仁油对照组相比,精油组在第2周和第4周时,疼痛或不适域中直肠与睾丸之间(会阴部)的疼痛显著减轻(P<0.01)。未发生严重不良事件。
精油可能减轻CP/CPPS患者会阴部区域的疼痛或不适。(注册号:ChiCTR-IPR-14005448)
