Obesity, Abdominal Clinical Trial
Official title:
Acupuncture in the Regulation of Dai Meridian for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Patients With Abdominal Obesity
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of electroacupuncture to dredge and regulate Dai Meridian combined with lifestyle modification are more effective than lifestyle modification only in the treatment of anovulation and hyperandrogenism due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with abdominal obesity.Two thirds of participants will receive electroacupuncture and lifestyle modification in combination, while the other one third will receive lifestyle modification only.
Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is one of most common clinical features of polycystic
ovary syndrome, a widely and seriously influenced complex disorder related to reproduction
and metabolism. Excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the abdominal organs often leads
to insulin resistance, which will increase the harm of hyperandrogenism and exacerbate
ovulation disorders and metabolic abnormalities.
Weight loss, likely beneficial for both reproductive and metabolic dysfunction in this
setting , has been generally recommended as a first-line therapy for obese women with PCOS
and can be accomplished via lifestyle modification and electroacupuncture. What's more,
stimulating acupoints of Dai Meridian can regulate menstrual cycles and treat infertility
according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. However, how much benefits patients
will additionally get from the Combined therapy is not clear now.
