By Linglin Dai, Yin Zhang and 王丽莉.
Abstract
Background
Endometriosis, characterized by dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain, is a common gynecological disease. Acupuncture, as a complementary and alternative therapy for endometriosis, has been supported by a large body of clinical evidence. However, due to the heterogeneity of acupoint prescriptions, the commonly used acupoints remain undetermined.
