Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical effects of pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, and ohrimsan on prostatitis that was not improved by antibiotics. Methods: The patient underwent So-Yeom pharmacopuncture injection, acupuncture, and ohrimsan. A numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to obtain a sense of residual urine and the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) was used to evaluate the treatment effects. Results: NRS for the sense of residual urine decreased from 70 before treatment to 0 after treatment. The NIH-CPSI was 19 on the first day of admission and decreased to 8 on the day of discharge. No side effects were observed after treatment. Conclusions: The traditional Korean medicine of pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, and ohrimsan is effective for treating prostatitis that is not improved by antibiotics.
