Abstract:
Objective To observe the efficacy difference between ZHU Lian's acupuncture plusWen Ren Tiao Shu method (warming the Conception Vessel and regulating back-Shu points) and ovulation drugs in treating anovulatory infertility.Method Seventy patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases each. The control group was given ovulation triggering medications; the observation group was intervened by ZHU Lian's acupuncture plusWen Ren Tiao Shu method, with Tianshu (ST25), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Guanyuan (CV4), Xuehai (SP10), Zusanli (ST36), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Ganshu (BL18), Pishu (BL20), Sanjiaoshu (BL22) and Shenshu (BL23) selected, once per day, 10 sessions as a course of treatment. The two groups were observed for 3 menstrual cycles. The symptoms score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), menstruation score, basal body temperature (BBT), and ovulation rate by gynecological scanning were compared before and after the treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The TCM symptoms score changed significantly after the intervention in the observation group (P<0.05); the TCM symptoms score didn't show significant change after the treatment in the control group (P>0.05); after the treatment, there was a significant difference in comparing the symptoms score between the two groups (P<0.01); there was a significant difference in comparing the BBT between the two groups after the intervention (P<0.05); according to Chi-square test, after the treatment, the difference in ovulation rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05); the total effective rate was 94.3% in the observation group, higher than 82.9% in control group.ConclusionZHU Lian's acupuncture plusWen Ren Tiao Shu method can improve the symptoms of anovulatory fertility, increase the conception rate, and reduce adverse reactions; this method can produce a more significant efficacy than oral administration of Western medications in treating anovulatory fertility.
