Culuanpao decoction, Cupailuan decoction and Cuhuangti decoction were respectively given according to different menstrual cycles and acupuncture and moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3), Luanchao (ovary), etc. The control group was treated with oral administration of Clomiphene and intramuscular injection of Chorionic Gonadotropin. They were treated for 6 cycles and the ovulation rate and the pregnancy rate were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no significant difference in the ovulation rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). The pregnancy rate of 44.0% in the observation group was significantly higher than 16.0% in the control group (P < 0.05).
