Methods One hundred and fifty cases were randomized into 3 groups, 50 cases in each one. In the embedding catgut group, the embedding catgut therapy was applied to Sānyīnjiāo （三阴交 SP 6）, Cìliáo （次髎 BL 32） and Guānyuán （关元 CV 4）. In the acupuncture group, the conventional acupuncture therapy was applied to Guānyuán （关元 CV 4）, Sānyīnjiāo （三阴交 SP 6）, Dìjī （地机 SP 8） and Shíqīzhuī （十七椎 EX-B 8）. In the western medicine group, indometacin was prescribed for oral administration, 25 mg, three times a day and fenbid was supplemented for the aggravated pain, 300 mg, twice a day. One session of treatment was one month in each group and 3 sessions were required totally. Before and after treatment, the symptom scores of dysmenorrhea were observed. Results The symptom scores of dysmenorrhea were all reduced obviously in three groups after treatment （all P0.05）. The result in the embedding catgut group was much more apparent as compared with that in the western medicine group （P0.01） and the acupuncture group （P0.05） separately. Of 49 cases in the embedding catgut group, 32 cases （65.3%） were cured clinically, 10 cases （20.4%） effective remarkably, 6 cases （12.2%） effective and 1 case （2.0%） failed. The total effective rate was 98.0%. Conclusion The embedding catgut therapy achieves the significant efficacy for primary dysmenorrhea. This therapy is simple in practice and deserves to be promoted in clinic.展开更多

In this study, the clinical application laws of fire needle, acupoint injection, catgut embedment, acupoint application, moxibustion therapy and filiform needle acupuncture were summarized in the aspects of category of disease, efficacy and related prescriptions （such as medication and acupoint selection） based on the result of data mining, and the general applicable categories of disease of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment methods were further screened, so as to guide the clinical application and give play to the best efficacy.展开更多

It not only achieves a long- term acupoint stimulation, but also reduces the visiting frequencies and pain of patients^[1]. The method of micro-invasive thread-embedding therapy is now introduced as follows.展开更多
