Effects of pollen extract
preparation on lower urinary tract symptoms in patients
with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic
pain syndrome
|
OBJECTIVES:
To assess the efficacy and safety of the pollen extract preparation Prostat/Poltit
in the treatment of patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis/chronic
pelvic pain syndrome.
METHODS:
In a double-blind study, 60 patients between 20 and 55 years old with
chronic nonbacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome were
randomized to receive Prostat/Poltit or placebo for 6 months. The patients
had been symptomatic for more than 6 months without response to any given
therapy. The patients were evaluated at the start of the treatment and after
6 months of treatment with the help of a symptom questionnaire covering the
symptoms in seven pain locations, five voiding symptoms, three storage
symptoms, and four sex-related symptoms.
RESULTS:
The overall clinical evaluation of the treatment result showed that after
treatment for 6 months more patients taking Prostat/Poltit were cured or
improved than patients taking placebo. No adverse reactions to the treatment
were found.
CONCLUSIONS:
Prostat/Poltit is superior to placebo in providing symptomatic relief in men
with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
