The Clinical Trial of Electro-thumbtack Needle on Live Birth Rate in Patients With Ovarian Reserve Dysfunction (DOR)
Sponsor: Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Summary
This study will include 246 patients with ovarian reserve dysfunction (DOR), who will be randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 123 patients in each group. The treatment group will receive electro-thumbtack needle treatment, while the control group will receive placebo electro-thumbtack needle treatment. Both groups will receive a treatment course of 3 menstrual cycles. This study evaluates the effect of electrocautery on the live birth rate of patients with DOR.

electro-thumbtack needle
The treatment acupoints include bilateral ovarian acupoints, Guan Yuan (CV4), bilateral Shen Shu (BL23), bilateral waist and eye acupoints (EX-B7), bilateral San Yin Jiao (SP6), and bilateral Zu San Li (ST36), totaling 11 acupoints. Among them, the bilateral ovarian acupoints and bilateral waist eye acupoints (EX-B7) were treated with electro-thumbtack needle. Other acupoints were treated with thumbtack needle.Choose a sparse and dense waveform, adjust the intensity to the maximum patient can tolerate, and stimulate for 30 minutes each time. After the stimulation is completed, remove the electrode patch and electroacupuncture device, and keep the electric needle at the acupoint for another 3 days.During the needle retention period, the electric needles at the bilateral ovarian acupoints and bilateral waist and eye acupoints were alternately stimulated once every other day using an electroacupuncture device for 30 minutes each time.
placebo electro-thumbtack needle
The control group selected acupoints that were the same as the treatment group. Bilateral ovarian acupoints and bilateral waist and eye acupoints are treated with placebo electro-thumbtack needle, while other acupoints are treated with placebo electro-thumbtack needle. The treatment methods for placebo electro-thumbtack needle and placebo thumbtack needle are the same as those for the treatment group.
