121 cases of polycystic ovarial syndrome were divided into a needle-pricking group of 61 cases and a medication group of 60 cases with randomized and controlled method. The needle pricking therapy group were treated by needle-pricking at sacral plexus stimulating points on both sides of the spine and lateral points of Dazhui (GV14), and the medication group by oral administration of clomiphen and intramuscular injection of chorionic gonadotropin(HCG). Hormones levels and symptoms were investigated before treatment, 3 cycles after treatment and at the sixth cycle after treatment.

Results and conclusion: After treatment of 3 cycles, the levels of hormone and B ultrasound were significantly improved in the two groups (P<0.01). At the sixth cycle after treatment, the conditions of the patients in the medication group were returned to the original levels of before treatment, meanwhile the conditions in the needle-pricking group still keep the post-therapeutic 1evel, and their menstruation and ovulation restored to normal state, also the ovulation mucosa as well as pregnancy rate were significantly higher than those in the medication group (all P<0.01). Needle-pricking therapy has obvious effect on polycystic ovarial syndrome, and has a good long-term therapeutic effect.
