Effect on Shen-jiu-tie to Primary Dysmenorrhea Due to Cold Obstruction Causing Blood Stasis

Objective:To observe the clinical effect on Shen-jiu-tie to primary dysmenorrhea due to cold obstruction causing blood stasis.Methods Constrasted the treated results of 80 cases of primary dysmenorrhea by pasting Shenque point with Shen-jiu-tie (treated group, 40 cases) and Tong-jing-tie (control group, 40 cases). Results Curative effets were evaluated by symptom integral. The therapeutic effect of treated group in 40 cases was cure 3 cases, markedly effect in 16 cases, effect 16 cases and no improvement in 5 cases, and the markedly and general effective rate being 47.50% and 92.50%. Meanwhile, the therapeutic effect of control group in 30 cases was cure 1 case, markedly effect in 10 cases, effect 16 cases and no improvement in 8 cases, and the markedly and general effective rate being 27.50% and 80.00%. There was no marked difference between the two groups in general effective tate (P0.05), but the markedly effective rate of treated group was superior to control group (P0.01). Conclusions Pasting Shenque point with Shen-jiu-tie was a good therapy to primary dysmenorrhea due to cold obstruction causing blood stasis.
