摘要：

Purpose: To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture for obesity polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Twenty-two cases of the patients with obesity PCOS were treated with electroacupuncture. Before and after the treatments, BMI and serum sex hormones were determined to compare the therapeutic effects. Results: In comparison between the patients before and after the treatments, there were significant differences (P <0.05) in BMI and luteinizing hormone (LH), but there was no significant difference (P >0.05) in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect in electroacupuncture is obvious in lowering BMI and LH levels in PCOS patients, indicating that electroacupuncture is a new method in Chinese medicine for obesity PCOS. © Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture 2008.
