Meta Analysis[Extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A meta-analysis].
To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of the extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and provide some evidence for the management of the disease. ⋯ ESWT can raise the rate of overall clinical effectiveness and improve the symptoms of chronic prostatitis in the treatment of CP/CPPS. This conclusion, however, is to be further supported by more RCTs with higher quality, larger sample size and better design.
