Abstract
The most common form of prostatitis is National Institutes of Health category III, also known as chronic abacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. The search for effective and durable therapy for this condition remains frustrating for both patients and physicians. A new approach incorporating a neurobahavioral and musculoskeletal perspective is emerging as a means of diagnosing and treating affected patients. Adopting methods from gynecology, colorectal surgery, and physical therapy has had promising effects in men diagnosed with chronic prostatitis.Keywords
