چکیده

مقدمه: ناباروری، یکی از مشکلات شایع در سطح جهان است. در کنار توجه اخیر به داروهای مکمل و طب جایگزین برای درمان ناباروی از جمله ناباروری مردان، تأثیر تعدادی از داروهای گیاهی بر پارامترهای اسپرم مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته‌اند. مرور سیستماتیک و متاآنالیز حاضر با هدف بررسی تأثیر گیاه خارخسک بر قدرت باروری مردان انجام شد.
روش‌کار: در این مطالعه مرور سیستماتیک پایگاه داده‌های الکترونیک شامل PubMed، Web of science، google scholar، Scopus، Cochrane، Sid، Magiran و Iranmedex با واژه‌های Tribulus Terrestris، Fertility، Infertility، Sperm parameters، Oligo Azoospermia و نازایی، ناباروری و خارخسک بدون محدودیت زمان و زبان جستجو شدند. مطالعات منتشر شده تا تاریخ 18 آذر 1396 وارد مطالعه شدند. در پایان 9 مقاله وارد مطالعه شد که 4 مطالعه قابلیت انجام متاآنالیز را داشتند. تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار comprehensive (نسخه 2) انجام شد. برای بررسی سوگیری انتشار از آزمون Egger و برای بررسی همگنی مطالعات از آزمون کوکران و شاخص I2استفاده شد.
یافته‌ها: از مجموع 1075 مقاله به‌دست آمده، 9 مقاله وارد مطالعه شد که 4 مقاله قابلیت متاآنالیز داشت. ترکیب داده‌ها نشان داد که استفاده از گیاه خارخسک در مردان با افزایش پارامتر‌های غلظت اسپرم و بهبود شکل طبیعی اسپرم و تحرک اسپرم همراه است.
نتیجه‌گیری: گیاه خارخسک بر پارامترهای اسپرم و عملکرد جنسی در مردان مؤثر است و می‌تواند به‌عنوان طب مکمل در کنار درمان‌های دیگر، در افراد مبتلا به ناباروری با علت مردانه استفاده شود.

All the articles published until 30 Nov 2017 were included in the study. Finally, nine articles were included that four articles were export in Meta-analysis process. Data were analyzed by comprehensive software (version 2). Cochran test and I2 index were used to assess the heterogeneity of the articles.
Results: out of 1075 obtained articles, nine articles were entered to the systematic study that four article were export in Meta analysis process.
