A review of botulinum toxin use for chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
The inability of urologists to consistently and effectively treat men with chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), also known as chronic abacterial prostatitis, is a source of great frustration. Botulinum toxin (BTX), a potent neurotoxin, can act on most of the peripheral nerves of the pelvis through a variety of mechanisms. BTX injection therapy for CPPS treatment has shown modest improvements. BTX is ideal for integration into a multimodal treatment plan, which may help achieve pain relief in men with chronic pelvic pain.
