Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Efficacy and safety of the medical device rectal CANNEFF® SUP suppositories containing two active ingredients cannabidiol (CBD) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in alleviating non-bacterial prostatitis symptoms and improving quality of life in men will be evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is the third most common urogenital diagnosis in men, following benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, with an estimated prevalence reaching 8.2%. Clinically, CP/CPPS often presents with persistent pelvic pain, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and sexual dysfunction, all of which can substantially diminish quality of life. Psychological comorbidities, including anxiety, stress, and depression, further amplify the burden on patients. Despite its considerable socioeconomic impact, no definitive treatment consensus exists for CP/CPPS. This study assessed the effects of rectal administration of cannabidiol (CBD)-based therapy in men with CP/CPPS. A single-arm, open-label pilot trial on men with CP/CPPS (NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index \[NIH-CPSI\] \>10, pain subscore ≥4). The participants self-administered rectal CANNEFF® suppositories containing CBD (100 mg) and hyaluronic acid (HA = 6.6 mg) as active ingredients, nightly for 30 days. Outcome measures included changes in NIH-CPSI total score, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Safety and tolerability were assessed.
