DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a common but poorly understood condition affecting men of all ages. Infection has dominated the thinking about this disease for decades. However, a growing body of evidence provides significant challenge to the notion that infection contributes to symptoms in a significant proportion of patients. Much of this new information was developed by the Chronic Prostatitis Collaborative Research Network (CPCRN), a six year project representing the first NIH-funded collaborative study of chronic prostatitis. The long-term goal of this application is the continuation of our involvement in the Chronic Prostatitis Collaborative Research Network. In addition, we will collaborate with investigators studying interstitial cystitis under an umbrella group, the Urological Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes Collaborative Group. We describe the activities at our center over the past 7 years in the study of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and describe the clinical and research infrastructure and expertise that we propose to continue to apply to the study of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome as part of this cooperative group.

描述（由申请人提供）： 慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征是一种常见但人们知之甚少的疾病，影响所有年龄段的男性。几十年来，感染一直主导着人们对这种疾病的思考。然而，越来越多的证据对感染导致相当一部分患者出现症状的观点提出了重大挑战。这些新信息大部分是由慢性前列腺炎合作研究网络 (CPCRN) 开发的，这是一个为期六年的项目，代表了第一个由 NIH 资助的慢性前列腺炎合作研究。该应用程序的长期目标是我们继续参与慢性前列腺炎合作研究网络。此外，我们将与泌尿科慢性盆腔疼痛综合征协作组下的研究人员合作，研究间质性膀胱炎。我们描述了我们中心过去 7 年在慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征研究中的活动，并描述了我们建议作为该合作小组的一部分继续应用于慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征研究的临床和研究基础设施和专业知识。
