What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The National Institutes of Health chronic prostatitis symptom index total score

    the change of NIH-CPSI total score from baseline to 8 weeks. National Institutions of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI,0\~43 points) consists of three subscales. The first part is pain symptoms, which consists of questions 1\~4 (0\~21 points), and evaluates the location, frequency and severity of pain. The second part is urination symptoms, which consists of questions 5\~6 (0 \~ 10 points), and evaluates the severity of incomplete urination and frequent urination; The third part is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life, which consists of questions 7\~9 (0\~12 points).The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

    Time frame: Treatment for 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. NIH-CPSI total score, pain score, urinary score and quality of life score

    The changes of NIH-CPSI total score, pain score, urinary score and quality of life score from baseline to 4 weeks; National Institutions of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI,0\~43 points) consists of three subscales. The first part is pain symptoms, which consists of questions 1\~4 (0\~21 points), and evaluates the location, frequency and severity of pain. The second part is urination symptoms, which consists of questions 5\~6 (0 \~ 10 points), and evaluates the severity of incomplete urination and frequent urination; The third part is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life, which consists of questions 7\~9 (0\~12 points).The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

    Time frame: Treatment for 4 weeks

  2. NIH-CPSI total score, pain score, urinary score and quality of life score

    The changes of NIH-CPSI pain score, urinary score and quality of life score from baseline to 8 weeks; National Institutions of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI,0\~43 points) consists of three subscales. The first part is pain symptoms, which consists of questions 1\~4 (0\~21 points), and evaluates the location, frequency and severity of pain. The second part is urination symptoms, which consists of questions 5\~6 (0 \~ 10 points), and evaluates the severity of incomplete urination and frequent urination; The third part is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life, which consists of questions 7\~9 (0\~12 points).The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

    Time frame: Treatment for 8 weeks

  3. Response rate

    The response rate is defined as a decrease of at least 25% in the NIH-CPSI total score and pain score, respectively

    Time frame: Treatment for 4 & 8 weeks

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 Jun 6, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
