The therapeutic effect was evaluated by the international index of erectile function 5 （IIEF-5）. Results： After 4 courses of treatment, the overall effective rate was 91.3% in the treatment group （23 completed）, versus 75.0% in the control group （20 completed）, with a significant difference （P〈0.05）. After the treatment, the change of IIEF-5 score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group （P〈0.05）.
