Ricercatori americani hanno studiato* gli effetti dell'agopuntura sul cortisolo e la prolattina sierica in pazienti che hanno eseguito fecondazione in vitro sottoposte a iperstimolazione ovarica farmaco-indotta.
Lo studio ha preso in esame 77 donne divise in 2 gruppi . Un gruppo ha ricevuto solo IVF, l'altro IVF insieme all'agopuntura.
I livelli sierici di cortisolo and prolactin were measured in the days of pharmacological stimulation provided in the IVF cycle.
cortisol levels in the group that performed acupuncture were significantly higher in the days of medication (7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13) than the group who did acupuncture. Even prolactin levels in the acupuncture group were significantly higher (on days 5, 6, 7 and 8) than the other group.
The authors conclude that there is no evidence on the positive effects on the regulation of cortisol and prolactin in women who do acupuncture during stimulation with drugs in IVF treatment. In addition, acupuncture helps to play the female hormone dynamics closer to normal physiological cycle fertile.
