Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2.0). Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4, while sensitivity and publication bias analyses were conducted with STATA 17.0. Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) was applied to evaluate cumulative evidence reliability, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess evidence certainty.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 21 RCTs were included. Meta-analysis showed that acupuncture significantly improved International Erectile Function Index-5 (IIEF-5) scores (MD\u2009=\u20093.28, 95% CI, 2.47-4.09), Erectile Hardness Score (EHS) (MD\u2009=\u20090.75, 95% CI, 0.59-0.91), serum testosterone levels (MD\u2009=\u20090.79, 95% CI, 0.14-1.44), and reduced TCM symptom scores (MD\u2009=\u2009\u22124.82, 95% CI \u22126.49 to \u22123.15), anxiety state assessment (SMD\u2009= \u22120.86, 95% CI, \u22121.50 to \u22120.22), and depression state assessment (SMD\u2009= \u22120.85, 95% CI, \u22121.52 to \u22120.17). The clinical efficacy rate (CEr) was also significantly higher in the acupuncture group (RR\u2009=\u20091.24, 95% CI, 1.17-1.32). According to GRADE, evidence quality ranged from very low to moderate. TSA confirmed the robustness of findings for IIEF-5 and CEr.
