Methods Ninety- three cases of PD were selected, who were given acupuncture at ShfqTzhui, Diji （地机 SP 8）, SQnyinjiao （三阴交. SP 6） and Ciliao （次髎 BE 32） for 30 min. The score of visual analogue scale （VAS） was observed at immediate time before treatment, and 5, 20, 20 and 30 min after needle insertion, as well as 30, 60 and 220 min after needle withdrawal. Results Compared with immediate time before treatment, there were significant differences of the VAS score in the PD patients from 5 min after needle insertion to 220 min after needle withdrawal （all P〈O.01）. The acupuncture analgesic effect had appeared since 5 min after needle insertion, and as time went by it gradually increased until 220 min after needle withdrawal. Conclusion Acupuncture at Shiqizhui, etc. for primary dysmenorrhea has obviously immediate analgesic effect, which has important clinical significance.展开更多
