This meta-analysis investigates the effect of aromatherapy massage on pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
Randomized controlled trials were searched by keywords in several databases (Pubmed, ISI Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar). Six randomized controlled trials that included 362 participants with primary dysmenorrhea, comparing abdominal aromatherapy massage (n = 184) with massage with placebo oils (n = 178), were analyzed in the meta-analysis. The change in the visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score from the first menstruation cycle to the second cycle at the first menstruation day was used as the primary outcome.
Aromatherapy massage with essential oils was superior to massage with placebo oils (standardized mean difference = -1.06 [95% CI: -1.55 to -0.55]).
Abdominal aromatherapy massage with essential oils is an effective complementary method to relieve pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
本荟萃分析旨在研究芳香疗法按摩对原发性痛经疼痛的影响。
通过在多个数据库（PubMed、科学网和谷歌学术）中使用关键词检索随机对照试验。在荟萃分析中，分析了六项随机对照试验，共纳入362名原发性痛经患者，比较腹部芳香疗法按摩（n = 184）和使用安慰剂油按摩（n = 178）。以第一个月经周期到第二个月经周期第一天视觉模拟量表（VAS）疼痛评分的变化作为主要结局指标。
使用精油的芳香疗法按摩优于使用安慰剂油按摩（标准化均数差 = -1.06 [95% CI：-1.55至-0.55]）。
腹部使用精油的芳香疗法按摩是缓解原发性痛经疼痛的一种有效辅助方法。
