trials (RCTs) on acupuncture for male immune infertility published from the
establishment of the database (journal) to 2021 was searched for RR values or

meta-analysis.<b> Results: </b>Acupuncture or combination of acupuncture and
herbal medicine (hereafter referred to as acupuncture and medicine) or
electro-acupuncture, the total effective rate was significantly better than the
control group, and the difference was statistically significant [RR = 1.29, 95%
