Evidence of impaired ability to relax the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Left: PFM resting activity (estimate of PFM resting activity as the percent maximum voluntary contraction [%MVC] and 95% CI) in controls and men with CP/CPPS during each rest condition (condition 1 [C1] [“rest-only”] and condition 2 [C2] [“rest-between-contraction”]). Right: Percent difference in MVC-normalized PFM resting activity in comparisons of activity during C2 and activity during C1 (estimate of percent difference in MVC-normalized PFM resting activity and 95% CI, along with the P value) in controls and men with CP/CPPS. ****P < .0001; n.s. = not significant.
