Fu's subcutaneous needling combined with monkshood cake-separated moxibustion for primary dysmenorrhea with cold congealing and blood stasis: a randomized controlled trial
's subcutaneous needling combined with monkshood cake-separated moxibustion for primary dysmenorrhea with cold congealing and blood stasis.
Methods
2
Sixty patients with primary dysmenorrhea of cold congealing and blood stasis were randomly divided into an observation group (30 cases
1 case dropped out) and a control group (30 cases
2 cases dropped out).The control group received monkshood cake-separated moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) and bilateral Zigong (EX-CA 1)
while the observation group received
Fu
's subcutaneous needling based on the control group.The muscles were palpated and the affected muscles were determined.Needles were inserted 5-10 cm away from the affected muscles and reperfusion activity was performed simultaneously.All the treatment started on the first day of menstrual cycle pain
o
nce a day
for 3 days
totaling for 3 menstrual cycles.The visual analogue scale (VAS) score
Cox menstrual symptom scale (CMSS) score
and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score in the two groups were observed before treatment
after 2 treatment courses and after 3 treatment courses.The serum prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α) levels before and after 3 treatment courses were measured
and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.
Results
2
After 2 and 3 treatment courses
the VAS scores
CMSS scores
and TCM syndrome scores in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (
P
<
0.05)
and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (
P
<
0.05).After 3 treatment courses
the PGF2α level in the observation group was decreased (
P
<
0.05)
and were lower than that in the control group (
P
<
0.05).The total effective rate was 96.6% (28/29) in the observation group
which was higher than 64.3% (18/28) in the control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Fu
's subcutaneous needling combined with monkshood cake-separated moxibustion could effectively reduce the pain intensity
improve clinical symptoms of dysmenorrhea
and lower PGF2α level in patients with primary dysmenorrhea of cold congealing and blood stasis.
