Primary dysmenorrhea occurs in as many as 50% of postmenarche women and is characterized by a particularly intense pain that is localized in the abdominal inferior quadrants and radiates to the inner thigh. This study assessed the effectiveness of Achillea millefolium on relief of primary dysmenorrhea.
The clinical trial was conducted at Islamic Azad, Toyserkan Branch in western Iran from July 10 to November 18, 2013. It consisted of female students from the university who had primary dysmenorrhea. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 equal groups and were given either placebo or A millefolium in teabag form for 3 days in 2 menstruation cycles. They graded the severity of their pain by using a visual analog scale.
The severity of pain in the 2 groups was compared using t test. The mean change in pain score in the A millefolium group was significantly greater than that in the placebo group at 1 month (P = .001) and 2 months (P < .0001) after treatment.
A millefolium is effective in minimizing the pain severity in primary dysmenorrhea.
原发性痛经在初潮后女性中发生率高达50%，其特征为下腹部象限出现特别强烈的疼痛，并放射至大腿内侧。本研究评估了蓍草对缓解原发性痛经的有效性。
该临床试验于2013年7月10日至11月18日在伊朗西部图伊斯尔坎分校的伊斯兰阿扎德大学进行。研究对象为该校患有原发性痛经的女学生。受试者被随机分为两组，在两个月经周期内，一组给予安慰剂，另一组给予茶包形式的蓍草，持续3天。她们使用视觉模拟量表对疼痛严重程度进行评分。
采用t检验比较两组疼痛严重程度。治疗后1个月（P = .001）和2个月（P < .0001）时，蓍草组疼痛评分的平均变化显著大于安慰剂组。
蓍草可有效减轻原发性痛经的疼痛严重程度。
