Sound waves vs herbal treatment for chronic prostate pain
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares three treatments for long-term pelvic pain from chronic prostatitis: sound wave therapy (ESWT), a plant-based therapy (phytotherapy), or both together. It aims to find which works best for ongoing pain without a bacterial infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device (TaVNS) can reduce pain, urinary symptoms, and mood issues in men with moderate to severe chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). It may offer a new drug-free option for symptom relief.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses focused sound waves to break down extra prostate tissue without cutting or heat. It may help men with an enlarged prostate who have bothersome urinary symptoms.
