Assessment of the psycho-emotional status of patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome using magnetotherapy

BACKGROUND: Chronic pelvic pain syndrome against the background of chronic abacterial prostatitis is most often associated with emotional and behavioral disorders, asthenic syndrome, erectile dysfunction, lower urinary tract symptoms, which significantly reduce the quality of life of patients and require additional medication correction. Despite the fact that there are currently more than 15 groups of drugs used in this case, their effectiveness remains insufficiently high. In this regard, the search for new innovative technologies for non-drug therapy of chronic pelvic pain and chronic abacterial prostatitis is relevant.

AIM: Study of the effect of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor and transcranial magnetic therapy on the parameters of the psycho-emotional status and clinical parameters in patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome against the background of chronic abacterial prostatitis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 52 patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome against the background of chronic abacterial prostatitis aged 28 to 45 years. Subject to the principles of simple randomization, patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of the control group (n=26) received a basic sanatorium complex with the inclusion of therapeutic exercises, dosed walking, drinking mineral water. Patients of the main group (n=26) in addition to the basic complex received extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor and transcranial magnetic therapy.

RESULTS: The use of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor and transcranial magnetic therapy in patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome against the background of chronic abacterial prostatitis is accompanied by a significant decrease in the severity of pain syndrome, clinical symptoms of the disease and improvement in psycho-emotional status parameters.

CONCLUSION: The inclusion of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor and transcranial magnetic therapy in the treatment complex of patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome against the background of chronic abacterial prostatitis contributes to the regression of the clinical manifestations of the disease, pain syndrome, dysuria disorders, and a significant improvement in the parameters of the psycho-emotional state.
