Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effects in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia by laser radiation on acupoints. Methods: Sixty cases were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases in each group. 808 mm laser radiation on acupoints was used in the treatment group, and oral administration of Western medication, finasteride tablets, was used in the control group. After 3-course treatments, the clinical effects, international prostate syndrome scores (I-PSS), quality of life index (QLI) and change of prostate volume were observed. Results: The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and 66.7% in the control group, with remarkable difference between the two groups (P<0.05). I-PSS, QLI and prostate volume were all improved in the two groups after treatments. In comparison of I-PSS and QLI after the treatments between the two groups, there were significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic effects of laser radiation on acupoints are precise in treating prostatic hyperplasia.
