Abstract

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) type-III is a common disorder characterized by pelvic pain and lower urinary tract symptoms in the absence of active infection. The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the results of thermobalancing therapy (TT) and to discus the possible etiology and pathophysiology of CP/CPPS. 45 patients with CP/CPPS used TT by applying therapeutic device, namely Dr Allen's therapeutic device (DATD), for six months as monotherapy. The control group comprised 45 men who did not receive TT. The National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) scores, prostatic volume (PV) by ultrasound measurement, and uroflowmetry (Qmax) were compared between both groups. Compared to controls, the treatment group showed significant improvements from baseline to endpoint in pain score, (p<0.001), quality of life index (QoL) (p<0.001), PV (p<0.001), and Qmax (p<0.001). The clinical study has confirmed that six-month TT with DATD reduces CP/CPPS symptoms dramatically. DATD uses emitted body heat as a source of energy to the projection of prostate for a pronged period of time, which removes microfocus of hypothermia in the prostate tissue gradually, improving blood circulati...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
