Methods： The literature about clinical and experimental study on moxibustion treatment for perimenopausal syndrome since 1996 was sorted out and analyzed by computer search. Results and Conclusion： Twenty-nine articles were collected upon the criteria of recruitment. Mostly used methods were salt-partitioned and warming needle moxibustion, and the most frequently used meridians were Conception Vessel, Governor Vessel, Spleen Meridian, and Kidney Meridian. In acupoints, Shenque （CV 8）, Guanyuan （CV 4）, Mingmen （GV 4） and Yinbai （SP 1） were used in high freauecy.展开更多

Methods： All of 110 cases with PMS were randomized into group A [Guanyuan （CV 4） and Sanyinjiao （SP 6）] and group B [Neiguan （PC 6） and Zusanli （ST 36）], 55 cases in each. After 4-week treatments, the Kupperman Menopausal Index （KMI） was adopted to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Estradiol （E2）, follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） and luteinizing hormone （LH） were assayed respectively before and after treatments. Results： The KMI decreased by 52.6% in group A, versus 47.4% in group B. The total effective rate was 93.6% in group A, versus 85.7% in group B, and the difference was not significant （P〈0.05）. The content of E2 both increased in the two groups after 4-week treatments （P〈0.05）; the contents of FSH and LH dropped but without statistical difference （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Both of the two acupoints groups can significantly lower KMI, and effectively increase the contents of E2 in patients with PMS展开更多

Methods： A multi-centered randomized controlled trial was conducted and the enrolled participants were divided into an ear acupuncture group and a control group. The ear acupuncture group was treated by electroacupuncture at auricular points, and the control one was prescribed for Geng Nian An （Menopause Helper） tablets. The therapeutic effects were evaluated after 10-day treatments. Results： For pre-menopausal patients, the total effective rate was 96.8% in the ear acupuncture group, versus 56.3% in the control. For post-menopausal patients, the total effective rate was 85.7% in the ear acupuncture group, versus 53.0% in the control. Conclusion： Both ear acupuncture and Geng Nian An （Menopause Helper） tablets were effective in ameliorating symptoms of perimenopause syndrome, with satisfactory compliance and safety. The clinical effect of ear acupuncture is better than that of Geng Nian An （Menopause Helper） tablets.展开更多

Methods： The rats were duplicated as ovariectomized model and took the electroacupuncture therapy at 5 different periods. The heat-resistance ability, physical strength and sleeping ability of the rats at different intervention time were recorded. Results： For the rats with perimenopause syndrome at all periods, the electroacupuncture could promote the beat-resistance and the physical strength, shorten the sleep latency and prolong the sleeping time. The results of the rats in the 7 d pre-modeling group, 1 d post-modeling group and 8 d post-modeling group were the best, followed by the results of 15 d post-modeling group and 22 d post-modeling group. Conclusion： The prevention and early intervention of electroacupuncture on the rats with perimenopanse syndrome were satisfied and the effect declined with a later intervention time, indicating the importance of prevention and early intervention.展开更多

Methods： Eighty patients with perimenopause syndrome were randomized into two groups. Forty-two patients in the treatment group were intervened by acupuncture-moxibustion and psychotherapy, and the other 38 in the control group were treated by acupuncture-moxibustion only. The treatment was given once a day, 15 times constitute a treatment course. The therapeutic effects were evaluated after 3 treatment courses. Results： The total effective rate and the effective rate of the emotional state were both 97.6% in the treatment group, versus 89.5% and 73.7% in the control. The comparison of the total effective rate and the effective rate of the emotional state between the two groups both showed significant difference （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture-moxibusiton has better effect in treating perimenopause syndrome when combined with psychotherapy.展开更多

The measurement of sexual hormones showed E2, FSH and LH levels were better after treatment than before treatment in the patients with peri-menopausal syndrome, The analyses indicated that electroacupuncture of points Guanyuan （CV 4） and Sanyinjiao （CV 6） could rdieve the clinical symptoms in the patients with peri-menopausal syndrome and improve the patient＇s life quality.展开更多
