Study summary

TRUS guided injection of long acting corticosteroids in chronic non bacterial prostatitis patients who failed to response to medical treamtment

Read the detailed description

chronic non bacterial prostatitis is usually due to congestion combined with severe inflammatory process of the prostate, it is usually a recurrent bothersome problem, so patients who fail to response to classic medical treatment are expected to benefit from a strong anti inflammatory injection like betamethasone, which has strong anti inflammatory plus anti oedematous properties so limitation of this inflammatory process across the prostate is expected to relieve the patients symptoms

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 26, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
