Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of erectile dysfunction
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of erectile dysfunction(ED).Methods Randomized controlled trials of acupuncture treatment of ED were searched from CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,CBM and PubMed,and the search period was from the establishment of each database to February 10,2023.Two researchers manually searched each keyword according to the above method to avoid missing literatures,and screened the literatures for inclusion and exclusion.RevMan5.4 software was used fordata analysis.Results A total of 19 articles were included,with a total of 1,623 samples.Meta-analysis result showed that after acupuncture treatment,the total effective rate increased significantly(RR=1.25,95%CI:1.18-1.31,P＜0.000,01),and the international index of erectile function-5(IIEF-5)score increased significantly(MD =3.76,95%CI:2.90-4.63,P＜0.000,01).Conclusions Acupuncture has a significant clinical effect on ED treatment,but more high-quality,large-sample randomized controlled trials are still needed for further verification.
