Abstract: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) refers to the decrease in the number of follicles and the quality of oocytes that appear prematurely before menopause. The pathogenesis of DOR is not yet fully understood, and clinical treatment lacks efficient methods, making it an urgent problem to be solved in the field of reproductive medicine. Acupuncture and moxibustion has been gradually popularized in the world for the treatment of gynecological diseases due to its advantages such as convenient operation, good curative effect and quick effect. With the rapid development of omics technology, molecular targets related to DOR pathogenesis (proteins, nucleic acids, receptors, etc.) are gradually recognized. In this review, we plan to make a summary from the perspective of the target of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of DOR, in order to provide a reliable basis for the clinical treatment of DOR.
