Effect of Electroacupuncture on Estrogen Levels in Patients with Climacteric Syndrome

目的观察电针对更年期综合征患者体内雌激素水平的影响。方法将90例更年期综合征患者随机分为A组、B组和C组,每组30例。3组均采用电针治疗,A组取三阴交,B组取关元、气海,C组取足三里。比较3组治疗前后晚黄体期血清雌二醇(E2)、促卵泡激素(FSH)及促黄体生成素(LH)水平。结果 A组治疗后血清各项指标与同组治疗前比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。A组治疗后血清各项指标与B组和C组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论电针能够调节更年期综合征患者体内激素水平,其中以针刺三阴交穴较明显。

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on estrogen levels in patients with climacteric syndrome. Methods Ninety patients with climacteric syndrome were randomly allocated to groups A, B and C, 30 cases each. All the three groups were treated with electroacupuncture. Point Sanyinjiao was selected for group A; point Guanyuan, for group B; point Zusanli, for group C. Serum estradiol （E2）, follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） and luteinizing hormone （LH） levels in late luteal phase were compared between the three groups before and after treatment. Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in serum indices in group A （P〈0.05）. There were statistically s：gnificant post-treatment differences in serum indices between group A and group B or C （P〈0.05）. Conclusions Electroacupuncture can regulate hormone levels in patients with climacteric syndrome. Acupuncture at point Zusanli has a more marked effect.
