Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating male idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia. Method A hundred patients with oligoasthenozoospermia were recruited and randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture, while the control group was by placebo acupuncture at non-meridian points. The clinical efficacies and changes of the relevant parameters of sperms after treatment were observed. Result The clinical efficacy of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05); in the treatment group, the relevant parameters of sperms were significantly improved after intervention (P<0.05); after intervention, the changes of the parameters in the control group were statistically insignificant (P>0.05); after intervention, the improvements of the relevant parameters of sperms in the treatment group were more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture can effectively improve the sperm density, sperm motility, and sperm viability, and enhance the recovery rate in treating infertility, and it’s easy-to-operate, without significant adverse reactions, safe, and reliable.
