To compare the clinical efficacy between electroacupuncture combined with heat-sensitive moxibustion and western medicine for treatment of premature ovarian failure.

Eighty patients were randomly divided into an electroacupuncture combined with heat-sensitive moxibustion group (group A, n=40) and a western medicine group (group B, n=40). Zîgōng (

Results

The cured and markedly effective rate of group A was 72.5% (29/40), which was superior to that of group B (37.5%, 15/40) (P<0.05). The symptom scores were improved significantly in the two groups after treatment (all P<0.05), and the improvement in group A was superior to that in group B (all P<0.05).

Conclusion

The efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with heat-sensitive moxibustion is superior to that of conventional western medicine in treatment of premature ovarian failure.
