Erectile Dysfunction Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Study of Liver Meridian in the Treatment of Male Impotence and Female Premature Ovarian Failure
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a kind of worldwide and common sexual dysfunction disease, which mainly affects men over forty years old. The clinical characteristics of ED is the inability to maintain sufficient erection to obtain satisfactory sexual intercourse. Age, education, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and hypertension are factors inducing ED. Recent years, the prevalence of ED is rising, and more men aged below forty years old are suffering ED. Published review indicated that the prevalence of ED was 40.56% in Chinese men aged over forty years old. A survey conducted in China suggested that 40.56% men aged over forty years old suffered from ED. Another international survey found that, 21.48% sexually active participants suffered from ED. Several researches demonstrated that, ED affects health and quality of life of patients and partner. Besides, ED induces patients' psychosocial problems, including depression and anxiety, and reduce work efficiency. According to American Urological Association guideline published in 2018, the clinical therapies for ED include phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i), vacuum erection device, and penile prosthesis implantation. PDE5i (such as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil) is a first-line drug for ED, recommended by doctors and patients. However, the most common side effects of PDE5i were headache, dyspepsia, flushing, and blurred vision. Furthermore, the ideal dose and type of PDE5i still need to be further studied. The use of PDE5i is restricted by those reasons. Acupuncture is an important role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and acupuncture received more concerned recently. The correlation between meridians and viscera is the center of acupuncture scientific problem. Acupoints stimulation can regulate visceral sensation and mobility to treat diseases.
This is a three-arm, multi-center, randomized controlled trial. Participants will be recruited in this study, with participants in each group. This trial is reported on the basis of the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) guidelines and complies with the principles of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trial of Acupuncture (STRICTA).The study will be carried out from January 2023 to December 2023 at five hospitals in China. Those hospitals include the first hospital of Hunan university of Chinese Medicine, Chengdu university of traditional Chinese medicine, Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of TCM, and Guizhou university of TCM. This research will recruit participants with ED by outpatient and inpatient department and social media. The patients who meet the diagnostic criteria of American Urological Association will be included in this study. The eligible patients with ED will be allocated into three groups: the liver meridian group, the stomach meridian group, and the non-acupoint group in a 1:1:1 ratio. The total observation period is twenty weeks, including a one-week baseline, eight-week treatment period, and twelve-week follow-up period. Outcome evaluation will be implemented at the baseline, during the treatment period, and during the follow-up period. ;
