摘要
Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most widely recognized reasons for infertility. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of laser acupuncture on PCOS women. Methods: Twenty-five PCOS women were randomly allocated to either the study group (SG; n=13), treated by laser acupuncture, or the control group (CG; n = 12). Blood hormonal levels and insulin resistance were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. Results: The pre-intervention levels showed no statistically significant differences between SG and CG for baseline characteristics (P > 0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, within-group analyses showed that body mass index (BMI), blood hormonal levels, and insulin resistance were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), while no significant changes in follicle-stimulating hormone (P > 0.05) were recorded in the 2 groups. Between-groups analyses showed that most outcomes measures were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in SG compared with CG, with no significant changes in FSH and BMI (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Laser acupuncture can be suggested as an effective management for PCOS women.
