Abstract
Objective: To assess the clinical effects of acupuncture treatment for primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: 80 cases of the patients were randomly divided into two groups by single blind to 40 cases in the acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion. 40 cases in the medication group were treated with oral administration of Ibuprofen sustained release capsules. The therapeutic effects were observed after continuous treatment for 3 months. Results: The total effective rate was 85.0% in the acupuncture group and 70.0% in the medication group, with statistical significance in comparison of differences between the two groups (P<0.05) Conclusion: Acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion is better than Ibuprofen sustained release capsules in treating dysmenorrhea.
