| compare the degree of symptoms relief between the three groups | using National Institutes of Health-developed Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIHCPSI) that will be filled by the patients pre and post intervention at 4 weeks and 8 weeks, 2 and 4 months. It comprises three key domains: pain (scored from 0 to 21), urinary symptoms (0 to 10), and the impact on quality of life (0 to 12), with a total score range spanning from 0 to 43. Higher scores reflect more severe symptoms and a worse overall outcome, while lower scores indicate milder symptoms and a better clinical picture. Severity is typically interpreted as mild (0-9), moderate (10-18), severe (19-31), and very severe (32-43), making the scale valuable for both diagnosis and monitoring treatment progress. | pre intervenon, at 4 and 8 weeks post intervention and at 2 and 4 months post intervention. |
