Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on primary dysmenorrhea due to damp- cold retention. Methods Eighty cases with primary dysmenorrhea due to damp-cold retention were randomly divided into a moxibustion group （40 cases） and a medication group （40 cases）. Moxibustion at Guonyudn （关元 CV 4） and Shiqizhui （十七椎 EX-B 8） was adopted for treatment of the moxibustion group a week before the period, which lasted for 10 days as a treatment course. Fenbid was used as oral administration for three continue menstrual periods for the medication group. The treatment lasted for 3 menstrual periods in two groups. The Cox Menstrual Symptom Scale （CMSS） was adopted to grade the menstrual symptoms, and differences between the two groups were compared. Results The total effective rate of the moxibustion group was 97.5% （39/40）, and the total effective rate of the medication group was 72.5% （29/40）. The effect of the moxibustion group was obviously better than the medication group （P〈0.05）. Before and after treatment the menstrual symptom scores of the moxibustion group were 9.78±1.86 and 2.25±3.33, while the medication group were 9.71±1.64 and 5.31±4.26. The scores of both groups decreased obviously after treatments. And the decreased amplitude of the moxibustion group was much more obvious than that of the medication group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion The effect of moxibustion on primary dysmenorrhea due to damp-cold retention is obvious, which is better than Fenbid.
目的:观察艾灸治疗寒湿凝滞型原发性痛经的临床疗效。方法:将80例寒湿凝滞型原发性痛经患者随机分为艾灸组和药物组,各40例,艾灸组采用艾灸治疗,于经前1周开始艾灸关元、十七椎穴,连续治疗10天为一疗程;药物组采用口服芬必得治疗,两组均连续治疗3个月经周期,采用痛经症状量表进行痛经症状评分,并比较两组疗效的差异。结果:艾灸组的总有效率为97.5%(39/40),药物组的总有效率为72.5%(29/40),艾灸组疗效明显优于药物组(P<0.05)。艾灸组痛经症状评分治疗前后分别为9.78±1.86、2.25±3.33,药物组分别9.71±1.64、5.31±4.26,两组痛经症状评分治疗后均明显降低,艾灸组较药物组下降更明显(P<0.05)。结论:艾灸治疗原发性痛经寒湿凝滞型临床效果显著,优于口服芬必得治疗。
