近10年针刺治疗原发性痛经临床研究评价指标概述

Survey on the evaluation indices of acupuncture clinical trials for primary dysmenorrhea in recent 10 years

对2000—2011年间国内外针刺治疗原发性痛经临床研究的评价指标进行分析,发现国内文献中评价指标侧重于症状、体征的改善,缺少客观的评价方法;国外文献则普遍采用各种量表作为评价指标,同时注重对患者生活质量、日常生活能力的评价。建议国内研究者应根据研究目的,将普适性指标与疾病特异性指标相结合,从而更全面地评价针刺治疗原发性痛经的临床疗效。

Based on the retrieval of literatures at home and abroad from 2000 to 2011,the evaluation indices of acupuncture clinical trials for primary dysmenorrhea（PD） were analyzed.The results indicated that in domestic area the reports were more concerned with the improvement of clinical symptoms and signs while paid less attention on the objective evaluation methodology,on the other hand,the studies abroad generally took many kinds of scales as their evaluation indices and focused on the patients＇ quality and activity of daily life.The authors suggeste that our clinical research,according to the designed intentions,should combine the general indicators with the specific indicators of diseases to have a more comprehensive evaluation on the effects of acupuncture for PD in clinical practice.
