目的：本研究旨在评估三阴交穴位按摩对减轻痛经引起的疼痛程度和月经困扰的效果。方法：40名痛经患者被分为穴位按摩组（n = 19）和对照组（n = 21）。针压组在初始干预期间接受20分钟的SP 6针压，并在第一次干预后的3个月内，从月经周期的第一天到第三天，每天进行两次技术训练。相反，对照组只被告知休息。通过（1）疼痛视觉焦虑量表（PVAS），（2）麦吉尔疼痛问卷（SF-MPQ）和（3）短期月经困扰问卷（SF-MDQ）测量结果：SP 6穴位按压20分钟后，PVAS（p = 0.003）和SF-MPQ（p = 0.02）的疼痛评分立即出现统计学显著性下降。在自我护理期间，PVAS（p = 0.008），SF-MPQ（p = 0.012）和SF-MDQ（p = 0.024）分数显着减少，注意到在第三个月后intervention.Conclusions：SP 6穴位按摩痛经有立即缓解疼痛的效果。此外，连续3个月穴位按压SP 6穴位对缓解痛经引起的疼痛和月经困扰水平均有效。
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the effects of Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupressure in reducing the pain level and menstrual distress resulting from dysmenorrhea.METHODS: 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).RESULTS: 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.CONCLUSIONS: 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.
