痛经患者三阴交穴压痛反应研究

目的:研究原发性痛经患者月经期三阴交穴的压痛反应。方法:将30例原发性痛经患者(痛经组)和30例健康女性(健康组)纳入本试验。分别在两组受试者的月(痛)经期和非经期进行三阴交穴压痛的视觉模拟评分(VAS)值和压痛阈值评估,并进行比较。结果:痛经组痛经期的三阴交穴VAS值显著高于非经期、健康组月经期(P0.01);痛经组痛经期的三阴交穴压痛阈值显著低于非经期、健康组月经期(P0.01);健康组和痛经组的非经期三阴交穴VAS值和压痛阈值分别比较,差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:痛经的急性发作可使三阴交穴压痛反应更敏感。

Reflection of Dysmenorrhea in Acupoint Sanyinjiao(SP 6)Region

Objective To observe the reflection of dysmenorrhea in acupoint Sanyinjiao(SP 6)region(body surface)so as to verify the relationship between the acupoint and uterus.Methods A total of 60women(15-35 years in age)including30primary dysmenorrhea patients(test group)and 30 healthy subjects(control group)were enrolled in the present study.The visual analog scale(VAS)score and mechanical pain threshold of bilateral Sanyinjiao(SP 6)regions were detected to assess changes of skin sensitivity in subjects undergoing menstrual pain and in the non-menstrual period.Results The VAS value in the menstrual period of test group was significantly higher than that in the non-menstrual period of the same one group and that in the menstrual period of the control group(P<0.01),and the pain threshold in the menstrual period of test group was significantly lower than that in the non-menstrual period of same one group and that in the menstrual period of the control group(P<0.01).No significant differences of both VAS value and pain threshold were found between the two groups in the non-menstrual period(P>0.05).Conclusion An obvious tenderness at Sanyinjiao(SP 6)exists in women undergoing primary dysmenorrhea,suggesting a close correlation between Sanyinjiao(SP 6)and uterus.
