OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of transperineal ultrasonic therapy for chronic prostatitis (CP) by analyzing the scores of NIH-CPSI and the results of prostate fluid routine examination.
METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, multi-centered trial on 96 CP patients that met the inclusion criteria. We divided the patients into groups A (trial) and B (control) of equal number, the former treated by transperineal ultrasound, while the latter with the same machine but no ultrasound waves, 10 min a time qd alt for 2 weeks. Then we evaluated the therapeutic effect and safety by comparing the scores of NIH-CP-SI and counts of white blood cells (WBC) and lecithin corpuscles (LC) in the prostate fluid between the two groups before and after treatment.
RESULTS: The total effectiveness rate was 70.83% in group A and 25% in group B (P < 0.01). The scores on prostate pain, urinary symptoms and quality of life as well as the total NIH-CPSI score were significantly improved in group A as compared with pretreatment (P < 0.05), and so were the prostate pain score and total NIH-CPSI score in group B (P < 0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in the scores on prostate pain and urinary symptoms and total NIH-CPSI score after treatment (P < 0.05), but not in any of the NIH-CPSI scores before treatment (P > 0.05), nor were there any significant differences in the counts of WBCs and LC either between the two groups or within each group before and after treatment (P > 0.05). Two patients experienced adverse events in group A, and 1 in group B (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Transperineal ultrasonic therapy is highly effective for CP, especially in relieving prostate pain. With its advantages of safety, easy operation and high acceptability, it deserves a wider clinical application.

Re: Transperineal ultrasonic therapy
This is a very interesting study. I've had good results in deactivating TrPs using ultrasound wand purchased for $25 on eBay. I'd recommend it to others. Here's an interesting article on US and TrPs:

@critthinker can you detail the wand : what brand ? how you use it ? What is your success with it ?
thank you
thank you

Re: Transperineal ultrasonic therapy
Here's the one I used:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRASONIC-ULTR ... 1e5e93664e
I just use it on the perineum/over the sphincter. It seemed to reduce my pain somewhat when I used it on a regular basis.

Re: Transperineal ultrasonic therapy
It's been helping. I went off of it for a long time and it seems like that made me worse.
