“…A short description of the studies included in this review was shown in Table 1. Of the 31 included trials, three were performed in Sweden (Stener-Victorin et al, 2009;2013;Jedel et al, 2011;Leonhardt et al, 2014), one in the USA (Pastore et al, 2011;Franasiak et al, 2012), one in Iran (Rashidi et al, 2013), and all other trials were conducted in China. After the studies were divided into four categories according to interventions, five were identified as "acupuncture vs. sham/no intervention," fifteen as "acupuncture+conventional therapy vs. conventional therapy," nine as "acupuncture vs. conventional therapy," and two as "comparison between different groups containing two or more of the above situations.…”

“…Menstrual frequency and hormones (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteotropic hormone (LH), LH/FSH, and testosterone (T)) were the most common measurements used in evaluating the effect of a therapy on PCOS, and they were available in 25 of the 31 included trials (Zhao et al, 2007;Shi et al, 2009;Stener-Victorin et al, 2009;2013;Lai et al, 2010;Li and Han, 2010;Jedel et al, 2011;Li and Zhang, 2011;Li Y.L. et al, 2011;Pastore et al, 2011;Cui Y. et al, 2012;Franasiak et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2012;Liang et al, 2013a;2013b;Wang and Gu, 2013;Wang and Li, 2013;Zhang, 2013;Zheng et al, 2013;He, 2014;Jin et al, 2014;Leonhardt et al, 2014;Li L. et al, 2014;Lin, 2014;Liang, 2015a;2015b;Qiu et al, 2015;Wang, 2015). Anthropometric measurements, such as body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist, waist-hip ratio (WHR), and the FerrimanGallwey score were available in 10 of the 31 included trials (Zhao et al, 2007;Stener-Victorin et al, 2009;2013;Lai et al, 2010;Jedel et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2012;Zheng et al, 2013;Jin et al, 2014;Leonhardt et al, 2014;Liang, 2015a;…”

Abstract:Objective: To provide guidance for future randomized controlled trials (RCTs) based on a review concerning acupuncture for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in October 2015 using MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCISEARCH, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group trials register, Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and the Wanfang databases. RCTs comparing either acupuncture with no/sham/pharmacological intervention or a combination of acupuncture and conventional therapy with conventional therapy in the treatment of PCOS were included in this review. A quality evaluation was performed for each of the included studies. Results: Thirty-one RCTs were included in the review and were divided into four categories according to the type of intervention used in the comparator or control group. Menstrual frequency, hormones, anthropometrics, insulin sensitivity, blood lipids, and fertility were used as the main measurements to assess the effects of acupuncture on the patients with PCOS. Thirty trials, except for one, showed an improvement in at least one of the indicators of PCOS after acupuncture treatment. However, normalizing the methodological and reporting format remains an issue. Conclusions: Based upon this review of current clinical trials concerning acupuncture for treating PCOS, we provide guidelines for better clinical trial design in the future.
