| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the clinical efficacy of tonifying kidney, reducing phlegm and dredging collateral in treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with obesity. [Methods] The 80 patients with PCOS were randomly divided into Chinese medicine group and Chinese medicine plus acupuncture group. Reducing body weight through physical exercise and controlling diet were advised in both groups. Both groups were treated for three menstrual cycles. The hormone, including LH, FSH and FPG were measured and the insulin resistance (IR) was assessed by the fasting insulin (FINS). [Results] The total effective rate of the Chinese medicine plus acupuncture group was 80.0%, and 67.5% was in the Chinese medicine group only. After treatment BMI, LH/FSH, T, FINS and IR were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). BMI, T, FINS and IR were significantly lower in Chinese medicine plus acupuncture group compared with the other group (P<0.05). LH/FSH and FPG, however, showed no significant difference in both groups (P>0.05). [Conclusion] The treatment efficacy of Chinese medicine plus dredging collateral in treating PCOS was superior to the simple application of traditional Chinese medicine. |
