Effects of acupuncture combined with Huatan and Progesterone prescription on IL-6,HOMA-IR,HS-CRP,sex hormone and pregnancy outcome in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(phlegm-dampness and difficulty)
Objective:To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with Huatan and Progesterone prescription on patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(phlegm-dampness and difficulty).Methods:Total 128 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(phlegm-dampness and difficulty)were treated in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from Septem-ber 2017 to March 2021,and randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 64 patients in each group.Control group received conventional treatment in Western medicine,and observation group was treated with acupuncture and the Huatan and Progesterone prescription.After 3 menstrual cycles,the efficacy was compared.Results:After treatment,serum TGF-β1,IL-6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(HS-CRP)levels of observation group were lower than that of control group(P<0.05),insulin resis-tance index(HOMA-IR),endometrial thickness and ovarian volume in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05),serum estrogens(E2)level in observation group was higher than that in control group,while levels of luteinizing hormone(LH)and follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)were lower than that in control group(P<0.05).After treatment,ovulation rate(79.69%)and pregnancy rate(57.81%)in observation group were higher than those in control group,and there was no significant difference in abor-tion rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Total incidence of adverse reactions in observation group(7.81%)was lower than that in control group(21.88%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:For patients with polycystic ovary syn-drome(phlegm-dampness and difficulty),combined acupuncture and Huatan and Progesterone prescription has significant effect,which can help to reduce inflammatory reaction,reduce insulin resistance,promote ovulation and pregnancy,and improve clinical efficacy.
