Clinical Observation on Fire Needle for Menstrual Headache due to Phlegm Stagnation in Collaterals

Objective To estimate the clinical effect of fire needle in treating headache during menstruation due to phlegm stagnation in collaterals. Method Seventy patients with menstrual headache due to phlegm stagnation in collaterals were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by fire-needle acupuncture, while the control was intervened by acupuncture with ordinary needles. Result The inner-group comparison of pain severity and duration time showed significant differences in both groups after treatment （P〈0.01）, and the results in the treatment group were superior to that in the control group （both P〈0.05）. The total effective rate was 85.7% in the treatment group, versus 74.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Fire-needle acupuncture is an effective method in treating menstrual headache due to phlegm stagnation in collaterals.
