Exploring the efficacy and safety of acupuncture versus sham acupuncture for diminished ovarian reserve: study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial

The therapeutic needs of women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), coupled with the increasing application of acupuncture in improving ovarian function, have highlighted the need to verify the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for DOR. This study aims to provide high-quality evidence by evaluating both ovarian reserve and in vitro fertilisation (IVF) outcomes.
