After participants have completed a baseline evaluation and meet the selection criteria, one professional statistician uninvolved with treatment and data collection will assigns the participants by using a computer generated, blocked random allocation sequence randomly and acupuncturist will be blinded to the process of randomized assignment.Treatment group will use acupuncture and control group will use placebo needle, for treatment, Zhongliao (BL 33), Shenshu (BL 23), Guiyang (BL 35), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) acupuncture points will be used, the treatment sessions are 24 weeks after baseline, 3 times a week and each time the patients will accept a 30 minutes treatment, to control group, participants will receive placebo needle treatment at the same acupuncture points and the duration and frequency of sessions are same to the real acupuncture group. The primary outcome measure of this study is the decreasing in (National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) NIH-CPSI total score from baseline to week 8, and secondary outcomes include NIH-CPSI sub scales at week, (International Prostate Symptom Score) IPSS total score, Global response assessment, expectation degree and satisfaction degree. The first three secondary outcomes will be measured at 4,8,20 and 32 weeks, expectation degree will be measured at baseline, and the satisfaction degree will be measure at 8, 20, 32 weeks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
