This study aims to evaluate the effects of Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupressure in reducing the pain level and menstrual distress resulting from dysmenorrhea.
Forty participants with dysmenorrhea were assigned to either the acupressure group (n = 19) or the control group (n = 21). The acupressure group received 20 min of SP6 acupressure during the initial intervention session and was taught to perform the technique for them to do twice a day from the first to third days of their menstrual cycle, 3 months subsequent to the first session. In contrast, the control group was only told to rest. Outcomes were measured through (1) the Pain Visual Analogue Scale (PVAS), (2) the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), and (3) the Short-Form Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (SF-MDQ).
There was a statistically significant decrease in pain score for PVAS (p = 0.003) and SF-MPQ (p = 0.02) immediately after the 20 min of SP6 acupressure. In the self-care periods, significant reduction of PVAS (p = 0.008), SF-MPQ (p = 0.012), and SF-MDQ (p = 0.024) scores was noted in the third month of post-intervention.
SP6 acupressure has an immediate pain-relieving effect for dysmenorrhea. Moreover, acupressure applied to the SP6 acupoint for 3 consecutive months was effective in relieving both the pain and menstrual distress level resulting from dysmenorrhea.
本研究旨在评估三阴交（SP6）穴位按压对减轻痛经引起的疼痛水平和月经困扰的效果。
40 名痛经患者被分为穴位按压组（n=19）和对照组（n=21）。穴位按压组在初次干预时接受 20 分钟的 SP6 穴位按压，并在第一次干预后 3 个月内，在月经周期的第一至第三天，每天进行两次自我穴位按压。相比之下，对照组仅被告知休息。通过（1）疼痛视觉模拟量表（PVAS）、（2）简明麦吉尔疼痛问卷（SF-MPQ）和（3）简明月经困扰问卷（SF-MDQ）来衡量结果。
在初次干预的 20 分钟 SP6 穴位按压后，PVAS（p=0.003）和 SF-MPQ（p=0.02）的疼痛评分均有统计学显著下降。在自我护理期间，干预后第三个月，PVAS（p=0.008）、SF-MPQ（p=0.012）和 SF-MDQ（p=0.024）的评分均显著降低。
SP6 穴位按压对痛经有即时止痛效果。此外，连续 3 个月对 SP6 穴位进行穴位按压对缓解痛经引起的疼痛和月经困扰均有效。
