简要总结
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) appear to have an increased frequency of sleep problems. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of auricular point acupressure (APA) pressure on sleep quality in women with PCOS.
详细描述
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent disorder affecting 5-18% of reproductive-age women. In recent years, women with PCOS appear to have an increased frequency of sleep problems, and the prevalence of poor sleep in PCOS is high at 31%. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of auricular point acupressure (APA) pressure on sleep quality in women with PCOS. We verified the effect of APA pressure on sleep quality, quality of life, anxiety level, sex hormone indexes, and biochemical indexes in two groups after the intervention. So as to provide a sleep management strategy in PCOS women for future clinical practice guidelines.
