Objectives: Sexual dysfunction can adversely affect quality of life and interpersonal relationships. Nowadays, a lot of attention is paid to traditional Chinese medicine with better curative effects and less adverse events.
Recent studies have implied the promising effect of acupuncture on sexual function. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in treating female and male sexual dysfunction.
Content: PubMed, Cochrane Central of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched up to 2021. No limitation to language and date. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
Summary: Among 160 initially assessed papers, 13 articles were included. The findings showed that acupuncture improves sexual dysfunction in domains of desire, libido, erectile dysfunction, and impotency.
Outlook: The available evidence indicates that acupuncture has a positive impact on the improvement of sexual dysfunction with no serious side effects.
