Objectives This case series reports the efficacy of Baenong Ickki San, a Bojungikki-tang -modified formula, in treating chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Methods Patients diagnosed with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (n=11) were treated with Baenong Ickki San. Changes in their condition were measured using the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index (NIH-CPSI). Results NIH-CPSI scores showed a significant improvement in the disease. The mean NIH-CPSI total score significantly decreased from 37.6±5.8 at baseline to 7.5±3.9 at end point (p<0.001), i.e., a 30.2±7.3 mean decrease was noted. Conclusions Baenong Ickki San may be a potential new medicine for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Methods : A patient with Pelvic pain and Dysuria was treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. Before and After treatment we measured International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS), National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI) and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). Results : International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS), National Institutes of Health -Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI) and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores were decreased considerably after 14 times treatment.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the clinical effects of herb medicine and acupuncture therapy on chronic bacterial prostatitis. Method : A clinical observation was made on two patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis diagnosed with DNA analysis. They were treated with herb medicine and acupuncture therapy. Before and after treatment we measured National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI) and WBC counts on expressed prostatic secretion(EPS). Results : According to DNA analysis, Streptococcus mitis and Veillonella was proved to be the cause for chronic bacterial prostatitis for each patients. After treatment, NIH-CPSI score improved from severe to mild, and WBC counts on EPS decreased considerably from many to under 10. Conclusion : The present result suggest that oriental medical therapy has effect on chronic bacterial prostatitis. Further clinical study about chronic bacterial prostatitis, and research on herbal medicine sensitive to each bacterium causing chronic bacterial prostatitis is needed.
