AB  - BACKGROUND: Premature ejaculation is a common sexual dysfunction disease in adult 
      males. It can be divided into primary and secondary premature ejaculation. 
      Acupuncture is widely used in the treatment of premature ejaculation in China. 
      There are many clinical trials confirmed that acupuncture can prolong the 
      ejaculation latency in the vagina. We aim to use a meta-analysis to evaluate the 
      efficacy and safety of acupuncture for premature ejaculation. METHOD: We will 
      systematically search all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by electronic and 
      manual search, until June 31, 2018. Electronic retrieval of the database includes 
      Medline, EMBASE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, 
      Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, the Cochrane Library, the Chinese 
      BioMedical Literature Database, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure 
      (CNKI), the China Science and Technology Journal database (VIP), and the Wanfang 
      database. Manual search will retrieve gray literature, including unpublished 
      conference articles. The primary outcomes include the Intravaginal Ejaculatory 
      Latency Time (IELT). At the same time, Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool 
      (PEDT), Arabic index of Premature Ejaculation (AIPE), Index of Premature 
      Ejaculation (IPE) will be the secondary outcomes. Two reviewers will 
      independently read the articles, extract the data information, and give the 
      assessment of risk of bias. Data analysis will be used the special software like 
      RevMan (version 5.3) and EndNote X7. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This systematic 
      review will evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for premature 
      ejaculation. This review does not require ethical approval and will be reported 
      in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO 
      CRD42018092783.
