Abstract
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a very common condition that is poorly understood and has a significant impact on quality of life. Given the lack of proven efficacy of conventional therapies, both physicians and patients have turned with increasing frequency to phytotherapy and other alternative treatments. Although complementary and alternative therapies for CP/CPPS are plentiful, few have been subjected to scientific scrutiny and prospective controlled clinical trials. This reviews concerned complementary and alternative therapies commonly used for CP/CPPS and focus in detail on those with published data.
