浮针疗法治疗原发性痛经的随机对照观察

目的:观察浮针疗法治疗原发性痛经(PD)的临床疗效。方法:120例PD患者随机分为浮针组和药物组各60例,浮针组采用浮针疗法远取三阴交穴治疗,药物组采用口服吲哚美辛肠溶片治疗,观察两组患者的止痛效果。结果:浮针组与药物组总有效率分别为93·3%和75·0%;两组治疗前后疼痛评分比较差异有极显著性意义(P<0·001),以浮针组更好(P<0·001);浮针组起效时间最快3分钟,明显快于药物组的30分钟(P<0·05)。结论:浮针疗法针刺三阴交穴治疗PD临床疗效优于口服吲哚美辛肠溶片。

Randomized controlled study on superficial needling for treatment of primary dysmenorrhea

Objective To observe clinical therapeutic effect of superficial needling at distal and proximal acupoints on primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Methods One hundred and twenty cases of PD were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=60) and a control group (n=60). The treatment group were treated with superficial needling at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and the control group with oral administration of indometacin entric-coater tablets. Results Of the 120 cases, 116 cases completed the investigation. The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and 75.0% in the control group. The comprehensive therapeutic effect and the cured rate in the treatment group were significantly better than that in the control group ( P<0.001 ), with a more rapid effect and lasting a longer time than the control group. Conclusion Clinical therapeutic effect of superficial needling at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) on primary dysmenorrhea is better than that of oral administration of indometacin entric-coater tablets.
