[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 183093, member: 12925"] This Japanese study found that 6 months of TRT improved chronic pain and other quality of life measures. The [URL='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32706428/']abstract[/URL] says: "The present study investigated the efficacy of 6 months of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on chronic pain syndrome in late-onset hypogonadal (LOH) men. Sixty hypogonadal patients with chronic pain syndrome (31 patients in TRT group and 29 controls) were extracted from a previous randomised controlled study in Japan. Chronic pain was evaluated based on bodily pain (BP) subscale of Short-form (36) Health Survey (SF-36), and patients with a score of 50.0 or less were defined as suffering from chronic pain. SF-36 scores, Aging Male Symptoms (AMS) scale, international prostatic symptoms score (IPSS) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels at baseline and a 6-month visit for the two groups were collected and compared. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline backgrounds between the two groups. Six-month TRT could contribute to significant improvements in BP, mental health of SF-36 and sleep disturbance (AMS question 4). Though the PSA level in the TRT group also significantly elevated at 6 months, the increase was not clinically significant. No significant improvements were evident in any characteristics in the controls. In conclusion, 6-month TRT can improve pain and some aspects of quality of life in LOH men with chronic pain."
