title: A review of botulinum toxin use for chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
abstract: 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.
