Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of fire needling on tumor marker CA-125 levels and endometrial antibody (EMAb) in endometriosis patients.Methods Eighty endometriosis patients were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 43 cases and a control group of 37 cases. The treatment group received fire needling and the control group took gestrinone capsules. CA-125 levels and EMAb were measured in the two groups before and after treatment.Results CA-125 levels and EMAb positive rate decreased significantly in the two groups after treatment compared with before (P<0.05) but there were no statistically significant post-treatment differences between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Fire needling has a good interference effect on CA-125 levels and EMAb in endometriosis patients.
