Methods： Twenty-two cases of the patients with obesity PCOS were treated with electroacupuncture. Before and after the treatments, BMI and serum sex hormones were determined to compare the therapeutic effects. Results： In comparison between the patients before and after the treatments, there were significant differences （P〈0.05） in BMI and luteinizing hormone （LH）, but there was no significant difference （P〉0.05） in follicle stimulating hormone （FSH） and testosterone （T）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect in electroacupuncture is obvious in lowering BMI and LH levels in PCOS patients, indicating that electroacupuncture is a new method in Chinese medicine for obesity PCOS.展开更多

Methods： A total of 46 cases with non-insulin resistant PCOS were randomly allocated into an observation group of 23 cases and a control group of 23 cases. Cases in the observation group were treated by needling bilateral Weiwanxiashu （Ex-B 3）, whereas those in the control group were treated by needling bilateral Sanyinjiao （SP 6）. After 3-month treatments, a comparison was made on the changes of ovulations rates, Follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）, luteinizing hormone （LH）, testosterone （T）, fasting insulin and body mass index （BMI）. Results： There were statistical differences in ovulation rates and LH/FSH before and after the treatment in the observation group （P〈0.05）, along with a statistical difference in testosterone changes （P〈0.01）. There were also statistical differences in LH and LH/FSH before and after the treatment in the control group （P〉0.05）; however, there were no statistical differences in ovulation rates and testosterone changes （P〈0.05）. There was significant difference in testosterone changes between the two groups after the treatment （P〈0.01）, along with a statistical difference in ovulation rates between the two groups （P〈0.05）. However, there were no statistical differences in LH/FSH and BMI between the two groups. Conclusion： Needling Weiwanxiashu （Ex-B 3） and Sanyinjiao （SP 6） can both improve the endocrine disorder of patients with non-insulin resistant PCOS; however, needling Weiwanxiashu （Ex-B 3） can obtain a better result than Sanyinjiao （SP 6） in increasing the insulin sensitivity and preventing insulin resistance.展开更多
