An interventional study of Electroacupuncture in Acupuncture, in Vitro Fertilization and BCL2 Gene mRNA Overexpression, sponsored by Universitas Indonesia. Completed at 1 site in Indonesia. Open to female participants aged 30 Years to 39 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-03-27.
Sponsored by Universitas Indonesia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Interventional studies compared electroacupuncture group versus sham electroacupuncture group to granulosa cell apoptosis index, oocyte maturation, GDF9 and BMP15 levels, and fertilization rate in in vitro fertilization program
The study was conducted at the Dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Indonesia in September - November 2018.The inclusion criteria are patients who underwent controlled ovarian stimulation with antagonist protocol, age 30-39 years, BMI \<29kg / m2. Exclusion criteria were not having a skin infection at acupuncture point and not using a pacemaker. Then patients were randomly divided into two groups: electroacupuncture and sham electroacupuncture. Electroacupuncture therapy was done 6 times at: 2 times before and 4 times during controlled ovarian stimulation.Apoptotic index of granulosa cells were examined by quantitative real time PCR techniques for BAX/BCL-2 expression.Oocyte maturation and fertilization rate output parameters are examined by competent embryologists after ovum pick up while GDF9 and BMP15 levels were examined by quantitative real time PCR techniques for GDF9 and BMP15 mRNA expression
Universitas Indonesia is the lead sponsor of 31 studies on the registry; 12 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Electroacupuncture therapy is done at the point of CV3 Zhongji, CV4 Guanyuan, and EXCA-1 Zigong with continuous wave, 2 Hz frequency for 30 minutes. Acupuncture manuals on MA-IC3 endocrine (ear points), GV20 Baihui, ST36 Zusanli, SP6 Sanyinjiao, BL57 Chengsan and KI3 Taixi for 30 minutes.
Procedure: Electroacupuncture
Sham electroacupuncture are done at same electroacupuncture point location but puncture are not done, also electro stimulator are turned off.
Procedure: Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture therapy is done at the point of CV3 Zhongji, CV4 Guanyuan, and EXCA-1 Zigong with continuous wave, 2 Hz frequency for 30 minutes. Acupuncture manuals on endocrine ear points, GV20 Baihui, ST36 Zusanli, SP6 Sanyinjiao, BL57 Chengsan and KI3 Taixi for 30 minutes.
Index apoptotic (Ratio Bax/Bcl-2) of granulosa cells, GDF9 and BMP15
Bax/Bcl-2 is proapoptotic protein compare to antiapoptotic protein. GDF9 and BMP15 protein expression
Time frame: "up to 1 months"
oocyte maturation index
fertilization rate is number of fertilized oocytes compared with all total number oocyte which taken when ovum pick-up. oocyte maturation index is the number of mature oocyte (metaphase II oocyte) compare with all total number oocyte which taken when ovum pick-up
Time frame: "up to 1 months"
Fertilization rate
fertilization rate is number of fertilized oocytes compared with all total number oocyte which taken when ovum pick-up.
