[Linggui Formula for asthenospermia with kidney deficiency and blood stasis: A randomized controlled trial].
Objective: To observe the effect and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Linggui Formula (LGF) in the treatment of asthenospermia with kidney deficiency and blood stasis.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 90 cases of asthenospermia with kidney deficiency and blood stasis treated in our hospital from September 2022 to September 2023, 45 by oral medication with LGF (the trial group) and the other 45 with oral levocarnitine solution (the control group), all for 12 weeks. We followed up the patients for 12 weeks, recorded the semen parameters, TCM syndrome scores, sexual hormone levels, pregnancy rates, and DNA fragmentation index (DFI) of the patients, and compared them between the two groups before and after treatment.
Results: Totally, 82 of the patients completed the study, 42 in the trial and 40 in the control group. After treatment, the patients in the trial group showed significant increases in the percentage of progressively motile sperm (PMS) (from [19.25±3.08]% to [38.57±4.99]%, P< 0.05), total sperm motility (from [32.29±3.64]% to [46.50±4.77]%, P< 0.05) and sperm concentration (from [83.9±37.2] to [95.1±34.9]× 10⁶/ml ], P< 0.05), and so did the controls in PMS (from [19.75±4.28]% to [34.46±5.07]%, P< 0.05), total sperm motility (from [33.02±4.93]% to [43.11±4.72]%, P< 0.05) and sperm concentration (from [85.2±39.7] to [88.1±35.2] × 10⁶/ml , P< 0.05), all even more significant in the trial than in the control group (P< 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the semen volume either in the trial (from [3.38±0.38] to [3.24±0.45] ml, P> 0.05) or in the control group (from [3.46±0.52] to [3.30±0.37] ml, P> 0.05), or between the trial and control groups (P> 0.05), or in the sexual hormone levels, pregnancy rates, and sperm DFI between the two groups before and after treatment (P> 0.05). Both groups of patients had good safety profiles without serious adverse reactions.
Conclusion: Linggui Formula can improve the percentage of PMS in asthenospermia patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis, potentially enhancing pregnancy rates and with a good safety.

National journal of andrology was founded in June 1995. It is a core journal of andrology and reproductive medicine, published monthly, and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. The main columns include expert talks, monographs (basic research, clinical research, evidence-based medicine, traditional Chinese medicine), reviews, clinical experience exchanges, case reports, etc. Priority is given to various fund-funded projects, especially the 12th Five-Year National Support Plan and the National Natural Science Foundation funded projects. This journal is included in about 20 domestic databases, including the National Science and Technology Paper Statistical Source Journal (China Science and Technology Core Journal), the Source Journal of the China Science Citation Database, the Statistical Source Journal of the China Academic Journal Comprehensive Evaluation Database (CAJCED), the Full-text Collection Journal of the China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD), the Overview of the Chinese Core Journals (2017 Edition), and the Source Journal of the Top Academic Papers of China's Fine Science and Technology Journals (F5000). It has been included in the full text of the American Chemical Abstracts, the American MEDLINE, the American EBSCO, and the database.
