Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of trigger point injection into the muscles around the groin in patients with clinically diagnosed chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).Design: Prospective, unicenter trial.Setting: University rehabilitation hospital.Participants: Patients (N=21) with clinically diagnosed CP/CPPS who are suspected of having myofascial pain syndrome.Intervention: Ultrasound-guided trigger point injection.Main Outcome Measures: Visual analog scale (VAS), National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) score, and injection-associated complications.Results: Ultrasound (US)-guided trigger point injection of the iliopsoas, hip adductor, and lower abdominal muscles resulted in excellent outcomes. The mean values of the NIH-CPSI score decreased significantly from 20.2 pretreatment to 12.5 after the first treatment (P
