Prostatitis is a common urinary infectious disease. Acupoint therapies, including massage, acupuncture, acupoints injection, acupressure, and moxibustion, showed clinical and long-lasting benefits for prostatitis, but the efficiency of acupoint therapies was poorly evaluated. The current review is attempted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the different acupoint-based therapies for prostatitis.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing acupoint therapies for prostatitis are included in the following databases: Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, Wan Fang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and EMBASE. All RCTs on acupoint or related interventions will be included we will also conduct unpublished academic research data. Databases will be searched from inception to Dec 2019. Study inclusion, data extraction, and quality assessment will be performed independently by 2 reviewers. Assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis will be performed by RevMan 5.3 software. Cochrane criteria for risk-of-bias will be used to assess the methodological quality of the trials.
According to the data of effective rate, quality of life, the cure rate, the recurrent rate, and the complications rate, this study will provide an evidence-based review of acupoint therapies for prostatitis.
This systematic review will evaluate the efficacy, and safety of the different acupoint-based therapies for prostatitis, we will recommend which acupoint therapies may be considered as the effective treatment for prostatitis, and show how it might work.

前列腺炎是一种常见的泌尿系统感染性疾病。穴位疗法，包括按摩、针灸、穴位注射、指压和艾灸，对前列腺炎显示出临床和持久的益处，但穴位疗法的疗效评估不佳。本综述旨在评估不同穴位疗法治疗前列腺炎的疗效和安全性。
评估穴位疗法治疗前列腺炎的随机对照试验（RCT）纳入以下数据库：科学网、PubMed、科学Direct、万方数据知识服务平台、中国生物医学文献数据库（CBM）、中文科技期刊数据库（维普数据库）、中国知网（CNKI）和EMBASE。所有关于穴位或相关干预措施的RCT均将纳入，我们还将收集未发表的学术研究数据。数据库检索时间从建库至2019年12月。研究纳入、数据提取和质量评估将由2名评审员独立进行。采用RevMan 5.3软件进行偏倚风险评估和数据合成。将使用Cochrane偏倚风险标准评估试验的方法学质量。
根据有效率、生活质量、治愈率、复发率和并发症发生率的数据，本研究将为穴位疗法治疗前列腺炎提供循证综述。
本系统评价将评估不同穴位疗法治疗前列腺炎的疗效和安全性，我们将推荐哪些穴位疗法可被视为前列腺炎的有效治疗方法，并展示其可能的作用机制。
