Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electrophysiological therapy in the treatment of type ⅢB chronic prostatitis(CP),and to provide clinical data for the application of electrophysiological technology in the diagnosis and treatment of male diseases.Methods This study utilized a self-matched pre-post comparison design to evaluate 31 patients with type Ⅲ B chronic prostatitis who underwent electrophysiological therapy in the Department of Andrology,Liuzhou Municipal Liutie Central Hospital from December 2021 to November 2022.Patients were selected based on specif-ic inclusion and exclusion criteria.All participants underwent visual and accurate electrophysiological diagnosis(VAED)and completed several clinical assessments,including the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI),the severity score for chronic prostatitis symptoms(CP/CPSI),the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS),and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7(GAD-7)questionnaire,both before and after treatment.Results After treatment,patients exhibited significant improvements in NIH-CPSI,CP/CPSI,IPSS,and GAD-7 scores.Ther-mographic(TMT)scans using VAED also revealed statistically significant reductions in both the minimum and mean in-guinal temperatures compared to pre-treatment levels(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Electrophysiological therapy is a safe and effective treatment for type ⅢB chronic prostatitis.It significantly reduces pain and anxiety symptoms in patients,thereby improving their quality of life.
