Summary

Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) is characterized by decreased female fertility, menstrual disorders and perimenopausal symptoms due to sex hormone deficiency or fluctuations. For now, there are no uniform diagnostic criteria or an ideal single detection index for DOR because of its insidious etiology and pathogenesis,theories suggest that there are specific changes in the body surface or acupuncture points in a pathological state. By detecting the biological characteristics of relevant meridian points and exploring the specificity and regularity of it.

Detailed description

There will be a multi-center, case-control, observational experiment. 50 patients with DOR and 50 healthy participants will be involved from Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University, Hangzhou TCM Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University and social recruitment. Modern instruments are used to regularly test the pain threshold, infrared thermal image, resistance, micro-circulation, and biological ultra-weak luminescence. There will be no randomized methods and blindness for subjects, while assessors and statisticians are masked from patients or healthy people. The study is aim to explore the the relevance between meridian acupoints and DOR.
