Current research hotspots and difficulties of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: neuroendocrine mechanism

Key Points

The research explores the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).
Reviewed therapeutic strategies targeting neuroendocrine mechanisms.
Examined the role of neuropeptide receptor antagonists, glial cell inhibitors, and neuromodulation techniques.
Suggested future multi-omics approaches for treatment classification.
Identified potential therapeutic strategies for CP/CPPS.
Highlighted the complexity of neuroendocrine-immune interactions.
Emphasized the need for individualized treatment approaches.

Abstract

CP/CPPS is a systemic condition involving complex neuro-endocrine-immune interactions. Therapeutic strategies targeting neuroendocrine mechanisms-including neuropeptide receptor antagonists, glial cell inhibitors, and neuromodulation techniques-offer promising directions for precision medicine. Future research should focus on multi-omics approaches and neuroendocrine-based patient classification for individualized treatment.
