Abstract:
Acupuncture is needling the anatomical point(s), which are self-contained pressure-sensitive and
defined in advance as a definite, in skin for diagnosis and/or treatment of functional, reversible
disease or disorders. Contrary to the growing momentum of interest in the world, though it does not
lose its importance in our country, acupuncture is maintained its existence as a field that projects
related to acupuncture find no much support, so the researchers did not investigate too much.
Acupuncture treatment methods that do not require expensive technical equipment, qualified
personnel and the long process of research, have many oppurtunities to provide major
contributions to science and economics with the cheapest cost, a minimum side effects and easy
application.
In the structured literure review; many scientific studies dealing with improving effects of
acupuncture on delay in wound healing and low sperm quality was determined, but it has not been
observed any scientifically detailed review related to improving effects of acupuncture on diabetesinduced
oxidative stress, delayed wound healing and low sperm quality. It is thought that this
review will provide an important contribution in its field.
