Hi Guys,

Opinions or experience. I'm waiting for conformation to start Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation. Which is non invasive and painless.

Website http://www.neocontrol.com.

Most of the reasearch is done with women patients but I understand that they get results in chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome patients. This is the UK so I dont know if it is done in US or anywhere else. I will keep you posted when I start treatment.

Jamo.

From that site:

A typical therapy session lasts for 20 to 30 minutes. Patients sit fully clothed in the Treatment Chair, while the pulsing magnetic fields generated by the therapy head penetrate the tissues of the perineum, simultaneously reaching all nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor. These muscles contract in response to each pulse. The frequency and strength of contractions can be set to the exact protocol prescribed by the physician to build strength and endurance and improve circulation in the muscles. As a result, patients gain improved awareness of their pelvic floor, better control of urinary function and enhanced quality of life. A typical multi-treatment protocol includes two sessions per week for eight weeks or more, depending on the patient's pelvic floor health when starting therapy.

Let us know how you progress!

Didn't know we could get private treatments on the NHS - or is it an NHS unit?

Its through the NHS. Dont have to pay to go private. The urologist did a cysto 2 weeks ago and has put me on the waiting list for this treatment.

Treatment started today so I will keep you posted. Typical that I have been on a good run of very mild pain going into this treatment.

Update: I have just finished the course of treaments and definitely give it the thumbs down

Sorry to hear it's been disappointing.
