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.
