Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal condition associated with psychological, reproductive, and metabolic features. Low-grade inflammation is a recognised factor causing metabolic and reproductive disorders in PCOS, which is why anti-inflammation approaches in PCOS treatment, especially during the COVID pandemic, are considered. A promising therapeutic option is osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), which activates the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and can inhibit proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF, IL-1β, and TNF-β. In our paper we analysed the influence of OMT in women with PCOS.
Seventy-three patients, aged 29-46 years, with a history of reproductive failure, who underwent a physiotherapeutic treatment were evaluated. Six months after the end of a physiotherapy session, a follow-up questionnaire was performed.
The results show that most women (83.6%) were satisfied with the therapeutic process, and that the sessions met the patient's expectations. Reducing the level of anxiety related to infertility treatment and pregnancy was declared by 60 (82.2%) women, an improvement in well-being was declared by 72 (97.3%) ( = 0.04), and increasing awareness of the body after physiotherapy sessions was declared by 70 (95.9%) women.
The physiotherapeutic sessions improved infertility treatment, enhanced quality of life, and had a positive effect on overall health in PCOS women.
多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是一种复杂的激素紊乱疾病,与心理、生殖和代谢特征相关。低度炎症是导致PCOS患者出现代谢和生殖障碍的一个公认因素,这就是为什么在PCOS治疗中,尤其是在新冠疫情期间,抗炎方法受到关注。一种有前景的治疗选择是整骨手法治疗(OMT),它能激活胆碱能抗炎途径,并可抑制促炎细胞因子,如肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和肿瘤坏死因子-β(TNF-β)。在我们的论文中,我们分析了OMT对PCOS女性的影响。
对73名年龄在29至46岁之间、有生殖失败史且接受过物理治疗的患者进行了评估。物理治疗疗程结束6个月后,进行了一次随访问卷调查。
结果显示,大多数女性(83.6%)对治疗过程感到满意,且治疗疗程达到了患者的期望。60名(82.2%)女性表示与不孕治疗和怀孕相关的焦虑水平有所降低,72名(97.3%)女性表示幸福感有所改善(P = 0.04),70名(95.9%)女性表示物理治疗疗程后对身体的感知有所增强。
物理治疗疗程改善了不孕治疗效果,提高了生活质量,并对PCOS女性的整体健康产生了积极影响。
