Objective: To observe the clinical effect and safety of Shanhaidan Granules (SHDG) combined with tadalafil tablets (TT) in the treatment of ED.

Methods: In this open multi-center case-control clinical trial, we enrolled 247 ED patients according to the designed criteria, and treated them orally with SHDG at 10 g per time tid (n = 74), TT at 5 mg per time bid (n = 52), or SHDG + TT at the above doses (n = 121), all for 8 weeks. Before and after medication, we recorded the IIEF-6, erection hardness scores (EHS), traditional Chinese medicine syndromes (TCMS) scores, penile cavernous blood flow parameters and adverse reactions, and compared them between the 3 groups of patients.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to determine if L-carnitine could enhance pregnancy rates in men with oligoasthenozoospermia undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
  • A total of 129 men were divided into two groups: one received L-carnitine for two weeks before ICSI, while the other had ICSI without the medication, allowing for comparison of sperm quality and fertilization outcomes.
  • Results showed a significant increase in sperm quality and available embryos in the L-carnitine group, suggesting that this short-term treatment could boost the success rate of ICSI.
