Clinical Observation on Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on Navel Combined with Yishen Tongluo Prescription in Treatment of Infertility Induced by Idiopathic Asthenozoospermia with Kidney-Yang Deficiency and Collateral Obstruction Syndrome
To observe the clinical efficacy of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel combined with Yishen Tongluo prescription in the treatment of infertility induced by idiopathic asthenozoospermia (iAZS) with kidney-Yang deficiency and collateral obstruction syndrome and its effect on sperm DNA damage and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the seminal plasma.
Methods
2
A total of 112 eligible patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group (56 cases) and a control group (56 cases). The patients in the observation group were treated with herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel combined with Yishen Tongluo prescription,while those in the control group received levocarnitine oral liquid. The primary observation indicators included spouse pregnancy rate,progressive motility (PR),and total sperm motility,and the secondary observation indicators included sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI),SOD in the seminal plasma, and improvement of TCM syndromes. The treatment cycle was 12 weeks. Before and after treatment,the PR,total sperm motility,sperm DFI,SOD in the seminal plasma, and TCM syndrome scores were recorded. The patients were followed up for 12 weeks and the pregnancy status of spouses within 24 weeks (half a year) was recorded. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.
Result
2
The pregnancy rate of spouses in the observation group was 15.69% (8/51), higher than 3.85% (2/52) in the control group (

P

P

Conclusion
2
Herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel combined with Yishen Tongluo prescription in the treatment of iAZS-induced infertility patients with kidney-Yang deficiency and collateral obstruction syndrome can increase PR,total sperm motility, and SOD level in the seminal plasma, reduce sperm DFI,improve the TCM symptoms of patients, and improve the pregnancy rate of spouses. The mechanism may be attributed to the fact that this treatment can increase the SOD level in the seminal plasma of patients,enhance the body's antioxidant function,protect sperm from oxidative stress damage,and reduce sperm DFI.
