Acupuncture modification treatment for female sexual dysfunction: A meta-analysis
2023 Dec European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology Ning S, Liu S, Chen X, Wang J
The meta-analysis included four studies with a total of 178 participants, and the results indicated a significant difference in Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores between the acupuncture group and the control group. Specifically, acupuncture treatment showed improvement in sexual desire and sexual arousal. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the scales of lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain between the two groups. The conclusion suggests that acupuncture can have a positive impact on overall FSFI scores, sexual desire, and sexual arousal for FSD but does not significantly improve other aspects of female sexual dysfunction. The study recommends including more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a larger number of participants for more reliable conclusions in the future.
