To objectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for treatment of peri-menopausal syndrome.
All the patients enrolled were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group were treated with EA at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for 3 therapeutic courses, thrice each week, 30 min each time, one month constituting one course. The control group were treated with oral administration of nylestriol for 3 months, 2 mg each time, twice each month. For the menopausal patient, medroxyprogesterone was added from the third month of the treatment for 7 days, 6 mg each day. Changes of vasomotorial symptoms, mental symptoms and scores of Kupperman indexes before and after treatment for 1 month, 2 months and 3 months were investigated.
EA could significantly decrease the score of Kupperman indexes, improve vasomotorial symptoms and mental symptoms in the patient of peri-menopausal syndrome with no severe adverse effects. The control group in the score of Kupperman indexes was slightly higher than the treatment group with no significant difference between the two groups, but the treatment group in improvement of the vasomotorial symptoms was better than the control group and in improvement of mental symptoms was not as good as the control group.
EA at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) is effective and safe for treatment of peri-menopausal syndrome.
客观评价三阴交穴电针治疗围绝经期综合征的有效性和安全性。
将纳入的所有患者随机分为治疗组和对照组。治疗组采用三阴交穴电针治疗，共3个疗程，每周3次，每次30分钟，1个月为1个疗程。对照组口服尼尔雌醇治疗3个月，每次2mg，每月2次。对于绝经患者，从治疗第3个月起加用甲羟孕酮7天，每天6mg。观察治疗1个月、2个月、3个月后血管舒缩症状、精神症状及Kupperman指数评分的变化。
电针可显著降低围绝经期综合征患者的Kupperman指数评分，改善血管舒缩症状和精神症状，且无严重不良反应。对照组Kupperman指数评分略高于治疗组，两组差异无统计学意义，但治疗组血管舒缩症状改善优于对照组，精神症状改善不如对照组。
三阴交穴电针治疗围绝经期综合征有效且安全。
