Abstract

The article presents the results of neurophysiological examination of 32 patients with noninflammatory form of abacterial chronic prostatitis/ chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS III B). Intramuscular electromyography was performed, right and left bulbocavernous reflex and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials during stimulation of n. pudendus were evaluated. It is shown that there is a high frequency of abnormal neurophysiological patterns in the absence of clinical neurological disease in patients with CP/CPPS III B. In this case, the pain as the main symptom was not associated with prostate disease. It is suggested that some patients with a diagnosis of CP/CPPS III B have neurological pathology that not manifested at the time of the examination.

Thanks for this Friedrich
You have done very well, I'm stunned, 80 miles WOW! good for you as long as you didn't suffer big time for it that is.
I read a post from Griff about a scan for hernia's which sounded so easy but it worked as the bulge could be visualised.

Welcome back Northernspy aka F Lo. I see you have returned under a new name. Please refrain from sarcasm if you want to continue to be allowed to post on this forum.

Just want to say that the "hopeless" PN/PNE wheel as you call it is not hopeless for everyone.
