About

To carry out real world research on the application of electrophysiology and other suitable technologies in the prevention and treatment of male diseases in medical institutions at all levels in Northwest China, and establish a database for the prevention and treatment of male diseases in Northwest China, so as to provide a basis for the formulation of guidelines or consensus on the application of electrophysiology for the prevention and treatment of male diseases in China.

---

274 participants in 2 patient groups

Electrophysiological treatment group

Experimental group

Description:

Two electrodes covered the two acupoints of Zhongliao and Huiyang, one electrode covered the three acupoints of Zhongji, Guanyuan and Qihai, and two skin paste electrodes covered the three acupoints of Sanyinjiao, and connected the electric stimulation therapy instrument for 30 minutes. The intensity was based on the patient's tolerance. 4 weeks before the course of treatment, the treatment was performed once a day, 3 times a week.In the last 4 weeks, 20 times were performed twice a week.Fluoroquinolones and alpha blockers were administered according to the patient's symptoms.

Treatment:

Drug: Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treatment

Regular treatment group

No Intervention group

Description:

Fluoroquinolones and alpha blockers were administered according to the patient's symptoms.
