摘要
Objective To observe therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with cupping for treating primary dysmenorrhea. Methods Sixty-six patients suffering from dysmenorrheal were treated by acupuncture at Guānyuán （关元 CV 4）, Xuèhǎi （血海 SP 10）, Dìjī （地机 SP 8）, Sānyīnjiāo （三阴交 SP 6） and Tàixī （太溪 KI 3）, as main points. Based on differentiation of syndrome, moxibustion was added at Guānyuán （关元 CV 4） and Shuǐdào （水道 ST 28） for 10 min plus cupping for 15 min. For patients with sthenic syndrome, acupuncture and cupping, but not moxibustion, were applied. One menstrual cycle was taken as one treatment course, and three courses of treatments were given. Results Total effective rate was 100.0% （66/66）. Usually, cure was achieved by 2–6 treatments, and dysmenorrhea was alleviated or eliminated by acupuncture and moxibustion for 5–30 min. Conclusion Acupuncture- moxibustion combined with cupping is a good therapy in treating primary dysmenorrhea for its efficiency in alleviating pain.
