[Effect and safety of electroacupuncture in the treatment of chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials].
Medium-quality evidence suggests that electroacupuncture is beneficial complementary and alternative therapy for CP/CPPS, with a significant advantage in improving the NIH-CPSI scores of the patients. However, more high-quality multi-centered RCTs with larger sample sizes are still needed to further verify the effect of electroacupuncture on CP/CPPS.
