Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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
