Study on the Intervention of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and Myofascial Release Therapy in Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
The primary aims of this research are three folds: (1) To identify more relatively effective interventions for improving pain symptoms in CP/CPPS patients. (2) To ascertain the correlation between PFM elastic modulus and tenderness symptoms. This may find a more objective method of assessing efficacy. (3) To determine the correlation between the intensity of the sympathetic response and the patient's symptoms and to explore other possible pathogenetic mechanisms.

Effects of Epigenetic Regulation in Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
This study seeks to identify defects in immune activation or regulation that may affect a subset of patients with CP/CPPS. This subset appears to have a reduced ability to mount a regulatory immune response, while simultaneously eliciting an exaggerated activated immune response. The defects that we demonstrate appear to be linked to altered methylation of genes involved in both immune regulation and immune activation. The aims of this study will provide definitive evidence of a role for epigenetic changes in immune cells in patients with CP/CPPS.

A Brief, Transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Urological Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: Processes, Predictions, Outcomes
The EPPIC (Easing Pelvic Pain Interventions Clinical Research Program) study evaluates an ultra-brief, 4 session cognitive behavioral pain treatment transdiagnostic in design for urologic chronic pain syndrome (UCPPS) with clinical and practical advantages over existing behavioral therapies whose length and focus limits their adoption by clinicians and coverage for mechanistically similar comorbidities. A theoretically informed, practical, empirically grounded approach will systematically unpack CBT's working mechanisms, clarify for whom it works, ease dissemination, appeal to patients, providers, payers, and policy makers in the COVID-19 era favoring low resource intensity treatments, and reduce cost and inefficiencies associated with high intensity therapies whose complexity, length, and scarcity restricts uptake and impact.

Iraqi Traditional Medicine for Urinary Tract Symptoms: The Effect of Cinnamon on Patients With Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome; a Pilot Study
Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is one of the common urologic problems, nevertheless; its etiology and pathophysiology are poorly understood, with no solid guidelines for effective treatment. The beneficial health attributes of cinnamon and its derivative and components were reported by several researchers, this study is designed to illuminate the possible benefits of cinnamon on patients with Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)

The Comparison of Three Different Modes of Assessment on Acupuncture Effect on Patients With Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: a Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common disorder. Some studies have indicated that acupuncture may ameliorate the symptoms of CP/CPPS. However, results are varied and range widely, perhaps due to different modes of assessment including timepoints, places of assessment, and especially subjective scales. We propose to determine the efficacy of acupuncture relative to sham acupuncture for patients with CP/CPPS, and compare different modes of assessment regarding the therapeutic effects of acupuncture. Methods: Sixty patients with CP/CPPS will be randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture or sham-acupuncture (30 patients, each). Treatment will be conducted 3 times/week, for 4 weeks. The primary outcomes will each be the change from baseline of the total NIH (National Institutes of Health) CPSI (Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) score associated with 3 modes of assessment: Mode 1, the scale recorded at the hospital within 10minutes after the last session of 4 weeks of acupuncture treatment, in the company of the outcome assessors; Mode 2, the scale recorded the same day, but not at the hospital; and Mode 3, the scale recorded at the hospital 1 to 3 days after the last acupuncture session. The 3 key secondary outcomes include will be the 3 modes assessment of the changes from baseline of the NIH-CPSI total scores in the acupuncture group at week 4 after treatment. Analysis was by intention-to-treat, and multiplicity was controlled for with a step-down closed-testing procedure.

A 12-Week, Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AQX-1125 (200 mg) in Male Subjects With Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, parallel-group study, enrolling approximately 100 male subjects diagnosed with CP/CPPS to evaluate the effect of 12-week treatment with AQX-1125 (active drug) compared to placebo. The subjects will be randomized to receive orally once-daily either AQX-1125 (200 mg) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio across approximately 30 centers in North America (United States and Canada). The study will consist of a screening period of up to 3 weeks, a 12-week treatment period followed by a 4-week off drug safety follow-up period, and an ophthalmic safety follow-up call at 3 months and visit at 6 months post last dose, for a total study duration of about 41 weeks.

Acupuncture for Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) refers to the presence of bothersome pelvic pain symptoms without an identifiable cause. Common symptoms of CP/CPPS include discomfort in the perineum, suprapubic region, and lower urinary tract symptoms. It affects men of all ages without apparent racial predisposition, among which, 36-50 years old are the most commonly influenced. Yet, few effective therapies are available for treating CP/CPPS. Acupuncture may be an effective treatment option for CP/CPPS. However, effects of acupuncture on CP/CPPS remain uncertain because of the small sample sizes or other methodological limitations. The objective of this multi-centre, randomized, sham acupuncture-controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture for relieving symptoms of CP/CPPS. The results will provide a robust conclusion with a high level of evidence.

Treatment of Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome Over Neck by Using Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is characterized by single or multiple trigger points (TrP) in taut bands within the affected muscles. Chronic MPS over neck is prevalent and responsible for markedly loss of work-day and a reduction of quality of life. Intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) involves in vivo illumination of the blood by low-level laser light through an optical fiber inserted in a vein. Researches disclosed that ILIB reduced blood viscosity, enhanced erythrocyte deformity, and increased oxygen saturation in blood. However, no research studies the effectiveness of ILIB to treat MPS. Real-time sonoelastography (RTS) and shear wave velocity (SWV) are used to detect the stiffness of skeletal muscles. RTS is displayed as a color-coded graphic to represent the relative stiffness of structures. For a given material, faster SWV indicates the greater stiffness. To our knowledge, only one research using RTS and SWV to study MPS. To elucidate the effectiveness of ILIB to treat chronic MPS over neck, and the validity of RTS and SWV for MPS, we conducted this study.
