Study Overview
Brief Summary
To carry out real world research on the application of electrophysiology and other suitable technologies in the prevention and treatment of male diseases in medical institutions at all levels in Northwest China, and establish a database for the prevention and treatment of male diseases in Northwest China, so as to provide a basis for the formulation of guidelines or consensus on the application of electrophysiology for the prevention and treatment of male diseases in China.

- •Benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, neurogenic bladder, urethral malformation or stricture and severe neurosis;
- •For patients with local pain as the main manifestation, attention should be paid to the exclusion of other lesions in the lower abdomen, perineum, lsosacral sites, such as ureteral calculi, bladder calculi, inguinal hernia, pubis, varicocele, epididymitis, rectocolic diseases, lsodorsal myofascitis, etc.;

Arms & Interventions
Electrophysiological treatment group
Two electrodes covered the two acupoints of Zhongliao and Huiyang, one electrode covered the three acupoints of Zhongji, Guanyuan and Qihai, and two skin paste electrodes covered the three acupoints of Sanyinjiao, and connected the electric stimulation therapy instrument for 30 minutes. The intensity was based on the patient's tolerance. 4 weeks before the course of treatment, the treatment was performed once a day, 3 times a week.In the last 4 weeks, 20 times were performed twice a week.Fluoroquinolones and alpha blockers were administered according to the patient's symptoms.
Intervention: Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treatment (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI)
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Improvement rate = \[(score before treatment - score at the end of treatment)/score before treatment\] ×100% The improvement rate ≥75% was considered to be significant.The improvement rate \< 75% and ≥50% were considered to be better. The improvement rate \< 50% and ≥25% were considered as average efficacy.The improvement rate \< 25% indicates poor efficacy.
Secondary Outcomes
- international prostate symptom score (IPSS)(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
