Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of levofloxacin to ciprofloxacin in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate, by means of a temporary sympathetic nerve block, the involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS). This study may also result in a new therapeutic approach for male CPPS.
Viagra is a potent 5-PDE inhibitor that causes vasodilation in the penis and, therefore, erection in men with erectile dysfunction. Our hypothesis is that Viagra may improve the symptoms of men with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome based on the following assumptions: Chronic Pelvic Pelvic Syndrome and Interstitial Cystitis involve poorly understood central and peripheral pain sensitization such as are seen in Chronic Sympathetic Dystrophy, also called Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. This pain may be caused by constricted blood vessels resulting from past stress, injury or trauma Viagra will dilate sympathetically constricted vessels and improve pelvic blood flow in the same manner it does in men with erectile dysfunction. Since men with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome often complain of sexual dysfunction; improving sexual function and, therefore, quality of life may improve overall well being and perception of pain.
Multicentric, national, prospective, parallel group, controlled. The Subjects in every center will be randomized and assigned to the pharmacologic arm or the one with the biochemical monitoring
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the alpha adrenergic blocker Alfuzosin (Uroxatral) in men with relatively new onset of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Alfuzosin is a once daily (10 mg capsule), FDA approved medication for an indication in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The effectiveness of alfuzosin in improving lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with BPH has been documented in a number of placebo-controlled studies. A number of small studies have also suggested that alfuzosin ameliorates CP/CPPS symptoms through a similar alpha-blockade mechanism. This study will enable further testing of this hypothesis
