Real World Study on the Application of Appropriate Electrophysiological Technology in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Andrology Diseases in Northwest China

July 14, 2021 updated by: Yuan Jianlin-1, Xijing Hospital
To carry out real world research on the application of electrophysiology and other suitable technologies in the prevention and treatment of male diseases in medical institutions at all levels in Northwest China, and establish a database for the prevention and treatment of male diseases in Northwest China, so as to provide a basis for the formulation of guidelines or consensus on the application of electrophysiology for the prevention and treatment of male diseases in China.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: DOUBLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Electrophysiological treatment group
Two electrodes covered the two acupoints of Zhongliao and Huiyang, one electrode covered the three acupoints of Zhongji, Guanyuan and Qihai, and two skin paste electrodes covered the three acupoints of Sanyinjiao, and connected the electric stimulation therapy instrument for 30 minutes. The intensity was based on the patient's tolerance. 4 weeks before the course of treatment, the treatment was performed once a day, 3 times a week.In the last 4 weeks, 20 times were performed twice a week.Fluoroquinolones and alpha blockers were administered according to the patient's symptoms.
Using the percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation instrument to different points of the body
NO_INTERVENTION: Regular treatment group
Fluoroquinolones and alpha blockers were administered according to the patient's symptoms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI)
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Improvement rate = [(score before treatment - score at the end of treatment)/score before treatment] ×100% The improvement rate ≥75% was considered to be significant.The improvement rate < 75% and ≥50% were considered to be better.

The improvement rate < 50% and ≥25% were considered as average efficacy.The improvement rate < 25% indicates poor efficacy.

through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
international prostate symptom score (IPSS)
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
The score improved significantly from baseline
through study completion, an average of 1 year
