Among men of working age, chronic prostatitis is the most common urological disease, and its inherent symptoms are a common reason for seeking urological care. To date, there is no single universal successful therapy for chronic prostatitis. Therefore, it justifies the further search for new methods of treatment of patients with this pathology. The objective: the aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of immunomodulatory therapy in treatment of patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis with inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS (NIH IIIA)). Materials and methods. Under observation there were 78 patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, with inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome (NIH IIIA), with a disease duration of more than 2 years and low effectiveness of treatment on the background of standard therapy. All patients received standard therapy according to the clinical protocol. Some patients (group 58-II) on the background of standard therapy were additionally prescribed Overin (cridanimod sodium salt 250 mg/2 ml in 1 amp.) From the pharmaceutical company “Geolik Pharm Marketing Group” 2 ml intramuscularly once a day every 48 h, 10 injections, followed by a comparative evaluation of clinical results relative to the control group of patients (group 20 – I) who received only standard therapy, immediately after treatment and 6 months after treatment. Results. It was found that the use of standard therapy, Overin, in patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis with inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS – NIHIII A), contributed to a longer and lasting clinical effect, in contrast to the results in the group of patients who received only standard therapy. According to the assessment of the general condition (S+QoL) in group I of patients after treatment and 6 months after the standard course of treatment, the indicator improved by 38.5 and 30.9 %, respectively (p<0.05). Whereas in group II of patients, the score (S+QoL) after treatment after 6 months was 52.8 % and 49.1 % lower than before treatment (p<0.05). Overin has also been shown to be more effective in terms of the severity of the inflammatory process according to the results of prostate secretion microscopy. Lack of inflammatory activity in the prostate, in the presence of less than 10 leukocytes in the field of view at microscopy of its secretion in patients of group I after treatment was observed in 55 %, after 6 months in 45 % of patients, respectively in group II was in 77.3 % after treatment and in 75 % of patients 6 months after treatment. A more visible positive dynamics of immune status in the second group of patients was obtained. Namely, after treatment, there was a probable increase in IFN-γ in the blood by 29.9 % and a decrease in IL-6 by 2.7 times (in ejaculate by 3.2) while maintaining the visible dynamics compared to input data before treatment after 6 months (p<0.05). Whereas in the blood of patients of group I IFN-γ increased after treatment by only 5.5 % and IL-6 decreased by 24.0 % (ejaculate by 22.9 %). The level of sІgA in the ejaculate of patients of group I after treatment increased by 15.7 %, while in group II by 30.2 % (p<0.05). After 6 months, the studied indicators of immune status in the blood and ejaculate of patients of group I, visibly did not differ from the data in this group before treatment (p>0.05). Conclusions. The use of Overin on the background of standard therapy in patients with inflammatory form of CP/CPPS, contributes to a stable and long-lasting clinical effect, which is confirmed by the dynamics of the obtained clinical and laboratory data.
