Effect of Combination of Tiaojing Zhuyun Acupuncture(调经助孕针)and Yulinzhu(毓麟珠)on Assisted Pregnancy Outcome and Ovarian Function in Patients with Decreased Ovarian Reserve
Objective:To study the effects of the combination of Tiaojing Zhuyun acupuncture and Yulinzhu on pregnancy outcomes in patients with decreased ovarian reserve(DOR).Method:A total of 192 patients with decreased ovarian reserve who underwent assisted reproduction were selected and randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The control group received routine IVF/ICSI-ET assisted pregnancy,while the treatment group was treated with Tiaojing Zhuyun acupuncture and Yulinzhu for 3 months before IVF/ICSI-ET.The changes of AMH,b-FSH,b-LH,FSH/LH and the number of antral follicles before and after treatment in both group were analyzed,and the clinical results of ovulation number,fertilization rate,high-quality embryo rate,cumulative pregnancy rate and abortion rate of the two groups were evaluated.Results:There were no significant differences in age,body mass index(BMI),infertility years,infertility types,b-FSH,b-LH,FSH/LH,AMH,and sinus follicle number between the two groups(P>0.05).In the treatment group,b-FSH and FSH/LH were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the number of antral follicles was significantly increased(P<0.05).The number of high-quality embryos and fertilization rate in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The cumulative pregnancy rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference on abortion rate between the treatment group and control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:The combination of Tiaojing Zhuyun acupuncture and Yulinzhu can improve the ovarian function,quality of ovum and pregnancy outcome of patients with DOR.
