In these studies, the following healthcare interventions were described: multidisciplinary treatment, exercise programs, testosterone gel, nurse home visits, and acupuncture. A statistically significant impact on subdomains of quality of life was reported in seven studies, and a statistically significant influence on the overall quality of life score was reported in two studies.
