Effect of electroacupuncture on total motile sperm count and sperm motility.
Background: Approximately 50% of infertility cases are attributed to male factors. Acupuncture has long been employed as a complementary therapy to enhance male infertility treatment outcomes. This study aimed to assess the impact of electroacupuncture (EA) therapy on sperm motility and TMSC in male infertility patients.
Design and methods: This randomized clinical trial involved 30 male infertility patients divided into 2 groups. Consecutive sampling was utilized among men diagnosed with infertility at the Fertility Clinic Sekar, Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta. Both groups underwent assessments of sperm motility and TMSC before and after the intervention. The first group received Coenzyme Q, while the second group received Coenzyme Q + EA.
Results: The Qoenzyme Q + EA group exhibited no significant difference in motility levels before treatment, with an average motility of 41.40% ± 13.33 and a TMSC level of 33.59 × 106 ± 27.91. Post-treatment, motility remarkably increased by 56.40% ± 11.78, and the TMSC level rose by 78.63 × 106 ± 58.38 in the Qoenzyme Q + EA group. Conversely, the Qoenzyme Q pre-treatment group had an average motility of 48.07% ± 15.77 and a TMSC level of 30.20 × 106 ± 34.82. After Coenzyme Q treatment, a significant decrease in motility by 42.80% ± 18.03 and TMSC level by 28.22 × 106 ± 15.16 was observed.
Conclusion: Combining Coenzyme Q + EA had a more significant impact on sperm motility and TMSC levels than Coenzyme Q alone. These findings underscore the differential effects of Coenzyme Q + EA and Coenzyme Q on sperm motility and TMSC levels, suggesting potential therapeutic implications for male reproductive health. Future studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to validate and expand upon these results.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
