What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The National Institutes of Health chronic prostatitis symptom index total score

    the change of NIH-CPSI total score from baseline to 8 weeks. National Institutions of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI,0~43 points) consists of three subscales. The first part is pain symptoms, which consists of questions 1~4 (0~21 points), and evaluates the location, frequency and severity of pain. The second part is urination symptoms, which consists of questions 5~6 (0 ~ 10 points), and evaluates the severity of incomplete urination and frequent urination; The third part is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life, which consists of questions 7~9 (0~12 points).The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

    Measured: Treatment for 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. NIH-CPSI total score, pain score, urinary score and quality of life score

    The changes of NIH-CPSI total score, pain score, urinary score and quality of life score from baseline to 4 weeks; National Institutions of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI,0~43 points) consists of three subscales. The first part is pain symptoms, which consists of questions 1~4 (0~21 points), and evaluates the location, frequency and severity of pain. The second part is urination symptoms, which consists of questions 5~6 (0 ~ 10 points), and evaluates the severity of incomplete urination and frequent urination; The third part is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life, which consists of questions 7~9 (0~12 points).The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

    Measured: Treatment for 4 weeks

  2. NIH-CPSI total score, pain score, urinary score and quality of life score

    The changes of NIH-CPSI pain score, urinary score and quality of life score from baseline to 8 weeks; National Institutions of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI,0~43 points) consists of three subscales. The first part is pain symptoms, which consists of questions 1~4 (0~21 points), and evaluates the location, frequency and severity of pain. The second part is urination symptoms, which consists of questions 5~6 (0 ~ 10 points), and evaluates the severity of incomplete urination and frequent urination; The third part is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life, which consists of questions 7~9 (0~12 points).The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

    Measured: Treatment for 8 weeks

  3. Response rate

    The response rate is defined as a decrease of at least 25% in the NIH-CPSI total score and pain score, respectively

    Measured: Treatment for 4 & 8 weeks

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05890235, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
