Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of Acupuncture and Clomiphene in Chinese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Acupuncture is used to induce ovulation in some women with polycystic ovary syndrome, without supporting clinical evidence. ⋯ Among Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, the use of acupuncture with or without clomiphene, compared with control acupuncture and placebo, did not increase live births. This finding does not support acupuncture as an infertility treatment in such women.
