Omdat ik zelf eind 2019 begin 2020 werd geconfronteerd met een ernstige vorm van prostatitus - ontstekingen in prostaat en urinebuis en zelfs een blaasontsteking volg ik berichten daarover met meer belangstelling dan normaal. Met mij gaat het overigens heel goed wat betreft dit probleem door gebruik van zaagbladpalm en vitamine C en cranberrycapsules. Maar dit terzijde.

Uit een recente studie blijkt dat electro acupunctuur de kwaliteit van leven en het plassen sterk verbetert bij mannen met een vergrote prostaat en prostatitus.

In een blinde gerandomiseerde studie werd de werkzaamheid van elektroacupunctuur met verschillende dieptes op verschillende acupunctuurpunten (Ciliao (BL 32) en Zhongliao (BL 33)) onderzocht voor de behandeling van goedaardige prostaathyperplasie (vergrote prostaat).
Alle 120 patiënten met een vergrote prostaat werden willekeurig toegewezen aan een experimentele groep (acupunctuur met diepe insertiegroep, DI-groep, n = 60) en controlegroep (acupunctuur met ondiepe insertiegroep, SI-groep, n = 60) 3 keer per week gedurende 4 weken.
De waargenomen resultaten werden getoetst aan de International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Kwaliteit van leven score (QOL), maximale urinestroomsnelheid (Qmax) en achtergebleven residueel urinevolume (PVR).

Na behandeling, op beide diepten, verbeterden meerdere klachten van de patiënten door electro acupunctuur. Er waren stastistisch significante verschillen tussen de International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS), waaronder kwaliteit van leven en de effectieve urinestroomsnelheid van de experimentele groep en de controlegroep (P <0,05). Hoewel de waargenomen PVR (achtergebleven residueel urinevolume) en Qmax (maximale urinestroomsnelheid) ook beter waren dan die voor behandeling, was er geen statistische significantie bereikt tussen de twee groepen (P> 0,05).

Conclusie is wel dat electro acupunctuur met diepe insertie het plassen en de kwaliteit van leven van de patiënt effectief verbetert en is acupunctuur geschikt voor toepassing in een klnische praktijk voor deze aandoening aldus de onderzoekers

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) on Ciliao (BL 32) and Zhongliao (BL 33) acupoints at different depths for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through a single-blind randomized controlled trial. All 120 patients diagnosed with BPH were randomly allocated to an experimental group (deep insertion group, DI group, n = 60) and control group (shallow insertion group, SI group, n = 60) 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The observed results included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Quality of Life score (QOL), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR). After treatment, at both depths, the BPH symptoms of patients were improved by EA. There were significant differences between the IPSS, QOL, and the effective rate of the experimental group and the control group (P < 0.05). Although the observed PVR and Qmax were better than those before treatment, there was no statistical significance between two groups (P > 0.05). Thus, EA with deep insertion can effectively improve the patients' urinary symptoms and quality of life, and it will be suitable for clinical application.
