[Comparative analysis of the data of acupuncture electrodiagnosis and hormonal status of women with oligomenorrhea]

Parshutin NP, Korsakov SG.

This study has compared acupuncture electrodiagnostic and hormonal data of oligomenorrheic women before and after an acupuncture regimen. According to the pretreatment hormonal status the patients were assigned to 3 groups: (1) ovarian hypofunction; (2) ovarian hypofunction with hyperandrogenism; (3) ovarian hypofunction with functional hyperprolactinemia. The treatment normalized the hormonal status in all 3 groups. The hormonal status of oligomenorrheic patients was found to correlate with conductivity of the skin at biologically active sites.
