• In a study by Yaman et al entitled "The place of acupuncture in the management of psychogenic impotence" published in Eur Urol 1994;26(1):52-5 it would found that of the 29 patients treated with acupuncture 20 patients demonstrated successful erections following a varying number of acupuncture sessions. In the light of their findings the authors concluded that acupuncture may be an effective alternative in the management of purely psychogenic impotence.
• In a study by Engelhardt et al entitled "Acupuncture in the treatment of psychogenic erectile dysfunction: first results of a prospective randomized placebo-controlled study" published in Int J Impot Res 2003 Oct;15(5):343-6 the potentially curative effect of acupuncture was investigated in 22 patients with psychogenic erectile dysfunction. The results of their pilot study indicated that acupuncture can be an effective treatment option in more than two-thirds of patients with psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
