denotes |
Subjects: |
| T10 |
426-611 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Participants who were aged 18-45 years, had a confirmed laparoscopic diagnosis of endometriosis in the past 5 years, and had regular menstrual periods and mean pelvic pain scores ≥4/10. |
| T11 |
612-626 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Interventions: |
| T12 |
627-809 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Sixteen acupuncture treatments delivered by registered acupuncturists using a standardized point protocol over 8 weeks, twice per week plus usual care compared with usual care alone. |

| T14 |
828-929 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Primary outcome measures were feasibility, safety, and acceptability of the acupuncture intervention. |
| T15 |
930-1203 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Secondary outcomes were changes in self-reported pelvic pain scores, changes in quality of life as measured by the Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30), changes in descending pain modulation, and changes in systemic inflammation (plasma interleukin [IL-6] concentrations). |
| T16 |
1204-1212 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Results: |
| T17 |
1213-1310 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Twenty-nine participants were eligible to participate, with 19 participants completing the trial. |
| T18 |
1311-1440 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There was unequal withdrawals between groups; the acupuncture group had a withdrawal rate of 14% compared with 53% in usual care. |
| T19 |
1441-1496 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Adverse events were uncommon (6.7%) and generally mild. |
| T20 |
1497-1682 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A 1.9 point decrease in median nonmenstrual pain scores and a 2.0 decrease in median menstrual pain scores between baseline and end of trial were observed in the acupuncture group only. |
| T21 |
1683-1796 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Improvements in all domains of the EHP-30 were seen in the acupuncture group, with no changes seen in usual care. |
| T22 |
1797-1899 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There was no difference between baseline and end of treatment in IL-6 concentrations for either group. |
| T23 |
1900-1912 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Conclusions: |
| T24 |
1913-2084 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Acupuncture was an acceptable, well-tolerated treatment and it may reduce pelvic pain and improve quality of life; however, usual care was not an acceptable control group. |
