Abstract
This study reviews the latest articles about oriental and traditional medicine treatment of male sexual dysfunction. We searched the article from 2000 to 2012 using 5 data bases. There were no restrictions on the type of publication, but articles not available in full text were excluded. The methological quality of RCT study was assessed according to Jadad scores and Cochrane"s assessment of risk of bias. 18 articles were included in this study. 5 articles published in Korea, the rest were foreign articles. 9 articles were randomized controlled trial(RCT), Case-control studies were 3, case reports were 3, One group pre-post test were 3. In RCT studies, Jadad scores were generally low, and risk of selection bias and performance bias were generally high, risk of detection bias was unclear. Oriental and traditional medicine treatment is as effective as western medicine treatment for male sexual dysfunction, more rigorous oriental medicine treatment studies should be warranted.
