Clinical Curative Effect Observation Of Herb-partitioned Moxibustion On The Navel For Moderate And Severe Primary Dysmenorrhea

Objective:This study takes PD patients as the research object,treated with herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel as the treatment and oral ibuprofen capsules as the control method,to observe the clinical effect of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel for moderate and severe primary dysmenorrheal(PD),to compare the different curative effects between the two groups,and to provide the scientific basis for herb-partitioned moxibustion.Methods:66 PD patients were divided into moderate and severe PD by the scores of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) symptom integral table,and then we adopted the method of clinical randomized controlled trials,double-blind,double simulation and positive control to divide the 66 PD patients into 2 groups.The treatment group adopted herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel and oral ibuprofen capsules for placebo.The control group adopted herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel for placebo and oral ibuprofen capsules.The situation changes of symptoms of TCM were observed before and after treatment,and compared the differences between two groups,taking the TCM symptom scores table as the main outcome measures.Results:1.As the extension of treatment cycle,treatment group of PD patients markes curative effect on TCM symptom,especially on aspects as follows: pain degree,the duration of the pain,blood clot,afraid of the cold or hands and feet are cold,and little menstrual quantity.These improvements are obvious in the long-term effect.The control group marks immediate effect on TCM symptom of PD patients,especially on aspects as follows:pain degree,the duration of the pain,breast distending pain,and the pain of waist.But the long-term effect is poor.2.To moderate PD patients,the improvement of lumbar acid in the control group is obvious than the treatment group in the first menstrual cycle.In the second cycle,there is no difference between the two groups.In the third menstrual cycle and follow-up period,the treatment group has a obvious improvement than control group,these aspects are as follows:pain degree,the duration of the pain,blood clot,afraid of the cold or hands and feet are cold,and little menstrual quantity.3.In the first,second and third cycle,the severe PD patients of the two groups both have improvements with the extension of treatment cycle in the pain degree and the duration.For treatment group patients,the pain degree and the duration have a continuous cut in follow-up period.But for the patients in control group,the pain degree and the duration have a significantly increased than the first,second and third menstrual cycle in follow-up period.Conclusion:The herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel marks curative effect on TCM symptom of moderate and severe PD patients,these improvements are obvious in the long-term effect,that better than the group of oral ibuprofen capsules.
