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.
