Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand current situation ofacupuncture and moxibustion for male infertility. Methods: We searched all relevant studies of male infertility patients treatedwith acupuncture and moxibustion. Electronic searches were conducted in Pubmed,the Cochrane Library, EMBASE and 4 Korean databases until October 2013. Results: A total of 10 reports were included in the review. Two case reports,one case series, three before and after studies, one cohort study, one non-randomizedcontrolled study and two randomized controlled studies were reviewed. Although themajority of studies suggested a positive effect of acupuncture on male infertility,the quality of studies was low. Data on adverse effects were lacking. Conclusions: We found a benefit from acupuncture for poor semen quality inmale infertility. These findings should be treated with caution as the evidence waslow or very low quality. To further evaluate the effects of acupuncture and moxibustionin male infertility, well-designed randomized controlled studies are needed.
