Effectiveness of Laser Acupoints on Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS), one of the most common causes of infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of laser acupuncture on PCOS women.
Twenty-five PCOS women were randomly assigned to either the study group (SG; n= 13), which treated by laser acupuncture, or the control group (CG; n= 12). Blood hormonal levels and insulin resistance at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention were measured.
The pre intervention showed no statistically significant differences between SG and CG for baseline characteristics ( p> 0.05). After 12 week intervention, Within group analyses showed that BMI, blood hormonal levels and insulin resistance were significantly decreased (p 0.05) in the two groups. Between group analyses showed that all outcomes measures were significantly decreased (p 0.05).
Laser acupuncture can be suggested as an effective management for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
