Objective
To determine the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in treating oligospermia and asthenozoospermia.
Conclusions
These results suggest that the current evidence does not support acupuncture as an effective treatment for oligospermia and asthenozoospermia; therefore, acupuncture is not currently recommended as a treatment for these conditions.
