    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effects of Qianlieping Capsule combined with alpha-receptor blocker tamsulosin on chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNBP). METHODS: We assigned 220 CNBP patients to three groups to receive oral Qianlieping Capsule (2.0 g tid) plus alpha-receptor blocker tamsulosin (0.2 mg qd) (n = 98), Qianlieping Capsule alone at 2.0 g tid (n = 66), and tamsulosin alone at 0.2 mg qd (n = 56) , respectively. After 6 weeks of medication, we assessed the therapeutic effects according to the NIH-CPSI scores and the number of small particles of lecithin (SPL) in the prostatic fluid after treatment. RESULTS: Qianlieping Capsule alone increased the number of SPL by 46.9% and reduced the NIH-CPSI score by 24.4%. Combination of Qianlieping and tamsulosin more significantly increased the number of SPL (61.4%) and decreased the NIH-CPSI score (42.3%) than tamsulosin alone (33.7% and 28.6%) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Qianlieping Capsule chronic is effective for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, and the combination of Qianlieping Capsule with tamsulosin produces even better effect than tamsulosin alone.
