[Chronic prostatodynia and psychosomatic care].
Depression is a regular accompaniment of all chronic painful conditions. A study was conducted to assess the effect of treatment of the depressive factor in patients with chronic prostatodynia. Effects were compared of psychosomatic therapy (psychotherapy, relaxation, etc.) alone in 9 patients (group I) and the same psychosomatic care plus treatment with amineptine and clobazam in 9 patients (group II). Results showed that 2 patients recovered and 3 were improved (62%) with 1 drop-out in group II, versus recovery and 2 improvements (42%) with 2 drop outs in group I. These findings are analyzed and discussed.
