Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread-embedding in treating premature ovarian failure.Method By following the visiting or admission sequence, 35 patients were randomized into a treatment group (acupoint thread-embedding group) and a control group (Western medication group). The therapeutic efficacy, and the levels of follicle stimulation hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) before and after the treatment were observed.Result After the treatment, the recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 44.4% and 72.2% in the treatment group, significantly different from 0.0% and 52.9% in the control group (P<0.05). The level of serum E2increased significantly in both groups after the treatment (P<0.01); the serum FSH dropped significantly in both groups with a more significant efficacy in the treatment group, and the change after the treatment was extremely statistically significant in the treatment group (P<0.01) and the change after the treatment in the control group was statistically significant (P<0.05); after the treatment, the serum LH presented a tendency to decline but without a statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint thread-embedding can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating premature ovarian failure.
