The Clinical Effect of Pretreatment with Heat-sensitive Moxibustion on Primary Dysmenorrhea and Its Influence on Uterine Artery Blood Flow: A Randomized, Blinded Controlled Trial
To compare the clinical effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion before menstruation and since the first day of menstruation on primary dysmenorrhoea (PD), thereby optimizing the clinical treatment plan.
Methods
2
Sixty patients with PD were randomly divided into pretreatment group (treated before menstruation) and conventional treatment group (treated since the first day of menstruation) of 30 cases each. For all patients, the area surrounded by bilateral Zigong (EX-CA1) and bilateral Guilai (ST 29) in the supine position, and that formed by bilateral Shenshu (BL 23) and Ciliao (BL 32) in the prone position were selected for circling moxibustion (2 min), sparrow-pecking moxibustion (1 min), and then moxibustion along the channels to stimulate the moxibustion sensation and obtain two heat-sensitive points with the best sensation for treatment. In the pretreatment group, moxibustion was applied 3-7 days before the onset of menstruation, and in the conventional treatment group, moxibustion was applied on the day of menstruation. Both groups were treated once daily for 7 days per menstrual cycle for 3 consecutive cycles. The clinical outcomes of the two groups were measured before and after treatment in terms of the COX menstrual pain symptom scale (CMSS) scores, visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) scores, and uterine artery hemodynamic indicators including blood pulsation index (PI) and resistance index (RI), and the clinical effect was compared.
Results
2
After treatment, the CMSS scores, VAS scores, PI and RI in the two groups decreased, and lower scores were found in the pretreatment group (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). The total effective rate after treatment was 93.3% (28/30) in the pretreatment group, which was better than 73.3% (22/30) in the conventional treatment group (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
The clinical effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion before the menstruation for PD was better than that implemented since the first day of menstruation, by significantly improving the patients' dysmenorrhoea symptoms and uterine artery blood flow index.
