To observe therapeutic effect of acupoint catgut embedding on hypomenorrhea.
The patients were divided into an acupoint catgut embedding group and an electroacupuncture group. They were treated respectively by acupoint catgut embedding and electroacupuncture at Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Ciliao (BL 32) , etc. The effects of the two therapies on the menses amount in different therapeutic periods were compared and their therapeutic effects were analyzed.
The total effective rate was 100.0% in the acupoint catgut embedding group and 95.0% in the electroacupuncture group with no significant difference. One month and two months after treatment, the acupoint catgut embedding group in improving degree of the menses amount was better than the electroacupuncture group.
Both acupoint catgut embedding and electroacupuncture can effectively treat hypomenorrhea, but the former more rapidly produces the effect and has a better short-term therapeutic effect.
观察穴位埋线治疗月经过少的疗效。
将患者分为穴位埋线组和电针组。分别采用穴位埋线和电针治疗,取穴气海(CV 6)、关元(CV 4)、子宫(EX - CA 1)、次髎(BL 32)等。比较两种疗法在不同治疗时期对月经量的影响并分析其疗效。
穴位埋线组总有效率为100.0%,电针组为95.0%,差异无统计学意义。治疗1个月和2个月后,穴位埋线组在改善月经量程度方面优于电针组。
穴位埋线和电针均可有效治疗月经过少,但穴位埋线起效更快,短期疗效更佳。
