Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of herb-partitioned moxibustion plus ultra-short wave for primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Methods: One hundred and thirty patients with PD were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 65 cases in each group. Patients in the treatment group were treated with herb-partitioned moxibustion plus ultra-short wave, while patients in the control group were treated with oral administration of Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. After completing three courses of treatments, the clinical effects were evaluated by professional researchers. Results: The recovery rate of the treatment group was 58.5%, and the total effective rater was 98.5%, versus 24.6% and 81.5% in the control group. The between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Herb-partitioned moxibustion plus ultra-short wave is an easy-to-operate and effective therapy for PD.
