The purpose of the study was to find the correlation between the effect of acupuncture on fertility and psychological effects. To investigate its influence on male subfertility, 28 patients received acupuncture treatment after informed consent. We evaluated subjective parameters by written psychological tests, while objective parameters consisted of measuring concentration, volume and motility in the spermiogram before and after acupuncture. There was a significant increase in sperm quality in all parameters but volume. The psychological test showed no change caused by acupuncture. Hence, we believe, that the effect of acupuncture on sperm quality is not caused by placebo-mechanisms.
该研究的目的是找出针灸对生育能力的影响与心理效应之间的相关性。为了研究其对男性不育症的影响，28名患者在签署知情同意书后接受了针灸治疗。我们通过书面心理测试评估主观参数，而客观参数包括在针灸前后测量精液检查中的浓度、体积和活力。除体积外，所有参数的精子质量均有显著提高。心理测试显示针灸未引起变化。因此，我们认为，针灸对精子质量的影响不是由安慰剂机制引起的。
