Results: The total curative rate was 87.6%. The curative rate was 45.0% in pattern of kidney yang deficiency and 59.1% in pattern of damp-heat in lower jiao. Conclusion: The clinical effect in acupuncture treatment of erectile dysfunction was related to the age of the patients and duration of disease.
