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
