平衡针灸治疗女性经行头痛的临床研究

Clinical Study of Balance-needling for Treatment of Menstrual Headache

【目的】观察平衡针治疗经行头痛的临床疗效。【方法】随机将经行头痛患者69例分为治疗组43例和对照组26例。对照组采用西乐葆口服治疗,治疗组给予平衡针治疗。2组均以14 d为1个疗程,疗程结束后判定治疗效果,并分析2组患者症状缓解的时间和伴随症状改善的情况。【结果】对照组总有效率为80.77%,治疗组总有效率为95.12%,治疗组的疗效明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。治疗组1周之内症状好转的患者达85.37%,而对照组1周之内症状好转的患者为69.23%,2组比较治疗组的症状缓解时间短于对照组,差异有显著性意义(P<0.01)。治疗后2组恶心欲呕、不思饮食、烦躁等伴随症状均显著改善(与治疗前比较,P<0.01),且治疗组的改善作用优于对照组(P<0.05)。【结论】平衡针能明显缓解经行头痛症状,缩短病程,疗效显著,治疗女性经行头痛具有明显优势,值得临床推广应用。
