Abstract

BACKGROUND: In modern medicine, among the main indicators of the effectiveness of therapeutic measures, the quality of life of the patient is singled out, which allows determining the degree of recovery of physical and mental health after treatment of acute conditions.

AIM: to evaluate the effectiveness of complex balneopeloid and enzyme therapy with longidase according to the monitoring of the quality of life of the patients suffering from chronic bacterial prostatitis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: There have been observed 54 patients with chronic prostatitis. They were divided into 2 groups by simple randomization: in the comparison group (n=26) the patients were prescribed exercise therapy, internal and external administration of mineral water of Zheleznovodsk type, peloidotherapy with silt sulfide mud topically, antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone, phytomicroclysters; in the main group (n=28), the patients additionally underwent antibiotic and enzyme therapy by peripheral indirect lymphotropic therapy. The efficiency was assessed using validated Quality of Life questionnaires: Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Scale (NIH-CPS) and SF-36 General Health Questionnaire (Social Functioning-36).

RESULTS: The analysis of the clinical effect of the new treatment technology revealed its advantage over the standardized therapy, which is proven by the monitoring of QoL indicators for 1 year after the spa treatment: recovery of QoL in the main group immediately after the treatment occurred by 59.7% (p <0.01), 6 months later ― by 72.7% (p <0.01), with a slight decrease in the rate in 12 months ― by 64.9% (p <0.01). The dynamics of physical and mental health indicators on the SF-36 scale was also observed with the same degree of confidence: compared with the baseline, the average improvement was 25.5% (p <0.01), 33.6% (p <0.01) and 27.3% (p <0.01) respectively. In the comparison group, the dynamics of indicators for all NIH-CPSI and SF-36 scales was also significant, but lower than similar indicators in the main group by 23–25% on average (p <0.01) and 12–15%, respectively.

CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate the high effectiveness of complex balneopeloid and lymphotropic therapy with the patients suffering from chronic prostatitis at the stage of spa treatment.
