Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This case series reports the efficacy of Baenong Ickki San, a Bojungikki-tang -modified formula, in treating chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (n=11) were treated with Baenong Ickki San. Changes in their condition were measured using the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index (NIH-CPSI).
Results: NIH-CPSI scores showed a significant improvement in the disease. The mean NIH-CPSI total score significantly decreased from 37.6±5.8 at baseline to 7.5±3.9 at end point (p<0.001), i.e., a 30.2±7.3 mean decrease was noted.
Conclusions: Baenong Ickki San may be a potential new medicine for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
