Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrative traditional Chinese and Western medicine on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOC).

METHODS: Sixty-three patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome were randomly allocated into 2 groups, 31 patients orally administered with diane-35 in the Western medicine group (WMG) and 32 patients treated with conventional controlled medicine plus modified Yougui Pill in the integrative medicine group (IMG). Changes of relevant hormones and clinical syndromes in patients were detected before treatment, after 3 cyclic treatment and at the 6th cycle after treatment.

RESULTS: The levels of relevant hormones and the indexes of B-ultrasonic were obviously improved after treatment in the two groups. But 6 cycles after treatment, these changes restored to the baseline as those before treatment in WMG, while maintained in IMG (P < 0.01). What's more, the normalization of menstruation, ovulation and pregnancy rate in IMG were significantly higher than those in WMG (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION: Diane-35 combined with modified yougui pill in treating polycystic ovarian syndrome not only shows marked short-term effect, but could consolidate the curative effect.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 32 participants or records.
