patients with chronic pelvic pain due to chronic prostatitis will receive pulsed radiofrequency on sacral root number 3 and ganglion impar denervation and the patients will be followed for 6 months to assess pain severity radiofrequency procedure: patients will positioned prone on the operating table and under x-ray guidence sacral foramen number 3 will be identified and through it radiofrequency needle will be advanced to target the sacral root ganglion impar procedure: under x-ray guidance the sacrococcygeal junction is identified and spinal needle will be introduced through it to target ganglion impar and 4 ml of alcohol 50% will be injected
