Abstract：Objective:To observe the efficacy of medicinal moxibustion at Baliao points combined with regulating menstruation to promote pregnancy acupuncture in premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)and effect on hemodynamics in patients with POI.Methods:Ninety patients with POI were divided into acu-moxa group,acupuncture group and western medicine group by the random number table method,30 cases in each group.The acupuncture group was treated with regulating menstruation to promote pregnancy acupuncture,the acu-moxa group was treated with medicinal moxibustion at Baliao points besides the treatment in acupuncture group,and the western medicine group was treated with hormone.The changes of hormone levels,antral follicle counting(AFC).traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome score,modified Kupperman score,anxiety self-rating scale(SAS)score,depression self-rating scale(SDS)score,ovarian hemodynamics and other indicators before and after treatment were compared among three groups.Results:After treatment,the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)and luteinizing hormone(LH)in the three groups decreased compared with before treatment(P＜0.05),while estradiol(E2)increased compared with before treatment(P＜0.05),in which compared with the acupuncture group and western medicine group,the levels of FSH and LH in the acu-moxa group changed significantly(P＜0.05).After treatment,TCM syndrome score,modified Kupperman score,SAS score and SDS score were reduced compared with before treatment(P＜0.05),in which TCM syndrome score,SAS score and SDS score in the acu-moxa group were lower than those in the acupuncture group and western medicine group,and the TCM syndrome score in the acupuncture group was lower than that in the western medicine group(all P＜0.05).AFC in the acu-moxa group and acupuncture group increased compared with before treatment(P＜0.05).AFC in the acu-moxa group was higher than that in acupuncture group and western medicine group,and in the acupuncture group was higher than that in the western medicine group(all P＜0.05).After treatment,end-diastolic velocity(EDV)of ovarian artery in three groups was higher than that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the EDV in the acu-moxa group was higher than that in the acupuncture group and western medicine group(P＜0.05);peak systolic velocity(PSV)in the acu-moxa group and acupuncture group was higher than that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the PSV in the acu-moxa group was higher than that in the acupuncture group and western medicine group,and in the acupuncture group was higher than that in the western medicine group(all P＜0.05);pulsatile index(PI)and resistance index(RI)in acu-moxa group and acupuncture group were lower than that before treatment(P＜0.05),and PI and RI in the acu-moxa group were lower than those in acupuncture group and western medicine group,and in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medicine group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Medicinal moxibustion at Baliao points combined with regulating menstruation to promote pregnancy acupuncture can improve the hormone level and clinical symptoms of patients with POI,and the mechanism might be related to improving ovarian blood perfusion.
