Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Wenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation in the treatment of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis). MethodsA randomized, positive-drug parallel-controlled, open-label clinical study was conducted. A total of 240 infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned into 4 groups, with 60 patients in each group. The control group was treated with clomiphene citrate (50-100 mg·d-¹, orally for 5-10 consecutive days) for ovulation induction. On the basis of the therapy in the control group, the Wenshen group was additionally treated with Wenshen Yangxue decoction (250 mL, warm oral administration, twice daily, in the morning and evening), and the stimulation group received endometrial microstimulation during the early follicular phase. The combined group was treated with clomiphene citrate plus Wenshen Yangxue decoction (at the same dosages as aforementioned) and endometrial microstimulation. The course of treatment for all the groups was 3 menstrual cycles. The pregnancy rate, ovulation status, sex hormone levels, glucose metabolism indicators, coagulation function, endometrial thickness, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, and adverse reactions were observed in each group. ResultsA total of 239 patients were included in the final analysis, with 59 patients in the Wenshen group and 60 patients in each of the other three groups. The pregnancy rates were 43.3%(26/60) in the combined group and 32.2%(19/60) in the Wenshen group, both significantly higher than that (10%) in the control group (χ2=17.56,P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the combined and Wenshen groups had increased mature follicle rates (P<0.01), while the Wenshen group showed a decreased luteinization rate (P<0.05). All the groups exhibited significant reductions in TCM symptom scores after treatment, and the Wenshen and combined groups had lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of adverse events among the four groups, and all the adverse events were mild. ConclusionWenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation can alleviate the TCM symptoms of infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis, promote follicular maturation and ovulation, increase the cumulative pregnancy rate, and has good safety. It can provide new clinical evidence for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of PCOS infertility.
