NCT01812161
Brief Summary:
Low-frequency electroacupuncture (EA) can decrease serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), androstenedione (A) and testosterone (T)of young women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) stimulation test ，also，we hypothesize that EA is more efficiency in improving ovulation rate and menstrual cycle than sham acupuncture.
Detailed Description:
First, patients will be recruited according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.
Second, baseline measurements (including menstrual frequency,human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) stimulation test,physical examination,trans-abdomen ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries, serum levels of sex hormone steroids) will be taken.
Third, each patient will receive 32 sessions of acupuncture in 16 weeks, twice a week.
Last, the above baseline measurements will be taken again as soon as the treatment is finished and menstrual frequency will be recorded during the 12 weeks of follow-up after the treatment.
