Clinical research of treating ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome with endocrine-regulating acupuncture
To observe the efficacy and safety of endocrine-regulating acupuncture in the treatment of ovulation disorders in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Methods
2
From June 2020 to February 2021
65 patients were recruited who met the inclusion criteria in the Acupuncture Clinics and Gynecological Clinics of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. The simple randomization method was used and they were randomly divided into two groups according to the order of their inclusion
namely the control group (clomiphene group
33 cases) and the treatment group (endocrine-regulating acupuncture group
32 cases). Both groups were given lifestyle guidance. The control group was given clomiphene citrate tablets
starting from the 2nd to 5th day of menstruation
50 mg/d
for 5 days; the treatment group was given endocrine-regulating acupuncture
once every other day
three times a week. The two groups were treated for 3 menstrual cycles
and the changes in sex hormone levels
TCM symptom scores
ovulation and pregnancy were observed and the differences were identified.
Results
2
① Ovulation rate: The ovulation rate of the treatment group was 60.87%; the control group was 63.24%; the difference was not significant after statistical analysis (
P
>
0.05). ② Sex hormone level: after treatment
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the two groups was significantly higher than before treatment; luteinizing hormone (LH)
LH/FSH
testosterone (T) were significantly lower than before treatment
with statistical significance (
P
<
0.05).The reduction of LH
LH/FSH and T in the treatment group was greater
and the difference was significant (
P
<
0.05); in terms of FSH increase
the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (
P
>
0.05). ③ Pregnancy rate: The pregnancy rate of the treatment group was 42.86%; the pregnancy rate of the control group was 41.94%. After comparison
there was no significant difference between the two groups (
P
>
0.05).
