Expert consensus on acupuncture and moxibustion diagnosis and treatment for diminished ovarian reserve
Diminished ovarian reserve(DOR)is a kind of gynecological disease that seriously affects women's reproductive health and fertility,mainly characterized by a decrease in the number and quality of oocytes.Acupuncture and moxibustion has certain advantages in treating DOR.In recent years,the overall level of acupuncture and moxibustion diagnosis and treatment for DOR has been improving continuously,reflected in the deepening understanding of the disease,the continuous optimization of TCM pattern differentiation,the diversification of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment methods,and the precision of treatment timing.Therefore,we gathered experts in acupuncture and moxibustion as well as in gynecology to conduct a survey and collation of acupuncture and moxibustion intervention programs for patients with DOR in the form of Delphi questionnaire,based on the clinical diagnosis and treatment experience of those experts.Thus,a consensus of acupuncture and moxibustion diagnosis and treatment for DOR has been formulated to further improve the clinical efficacy of DOR treatment and promote the application of acupuncture and moxibustion.
