METHODS: Sixty-seven obese PCOS patients were randomly divided into two groups. Thirty-three pa- tients in the acupuncture-medicine group were treated three times a week with electroacupunc- ture at the Tianshu (ST 25), Zhongwan (CV ] 2), Qi- hai (CV 6), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Geshu (BL 17), and Cil-iao (BL 32) acupoints. They drug, Tiankui capsule, for 3 treatment. Point-taking and also took the Chinese months as a course of treatment in the elec- troacupuncture group of 34 patients was the same as those in the acupuncture-medicine group. We observed and compared the changes in the obesi- ty-related indexes of body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and waist-hip ratio (WHR), as well as fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), APN, and LER RESULTS: BW, BMI, WHR, and FINS decreased and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and APN were higher in the acupuncture-medicine group than in the electroacupuncture group (P〈0.01). There was no obvious difference in LEP between the two groups (P〉0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture combined with medi- cine is better than just electroacupuncture for obese PCOS patients by improving obesity-related indexes, insulin sensitivity, and APN level. This indi- cates that acupuncture-medicine therapy is worth clinical popularization.展开更多
