"Acupuncture is effective for treating chronic urticaria of the wind-cold type. The is often referred to as either hives or nettlerash. Researchers from the Huaihua Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine conducted a clinical trial comparing the efficacy of warm needle acupuncture therapy with oral levocetirizine (an antihistamine). The results of the experiment indicate that warm needle acupuncture therapy is significantly effective in improving the clinical symptoms of chronic urticaria of the wind-cold binding exterior type, with no adverse reactions, and is superior to taking oral levocetirizine."

"For patients in the warm needle acupuncture group, the following points received needling therapy while patients took a supine and prone position.

"Acupuncture is effective for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). In a recent clinical trial conducted by Wuhan Kangjian Maternity and Infant Hospital and the Acupuncture Research Institute of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, 80 DOR patients were recruited. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: one receiving conventional ovarian stimulation protocols and the other receiving a combination of conventional protocols and acupuncture. The results indicate that acupuncture therapy increases the antral follicle count (AFC) and improves the number of retrieved eggs, the number of high-quality embryos, and the clinical pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive cycles."

"The following points were used:

Group 1

GV20 (Baihui)
GV24 (Shenting)
GB13 (Benshen)
CV12 (Zhongwan)
