Li-ESWT showed great efficacy for the treatment of CP/CPPS at the endpoint and during the follow-up of 4 and 12 weeks, though the efficacy of 24-week follow-up was not significantly different due to insufficient data. Generally, Li-ESWT is a promising minimal invasive method for the treatment of CP/CPPS.
