Abstract
Objective: To explore the best opportunity for electroacupuncture therapy to treat perimenopause syndrome. Methods: The rats were duplicated as ovariectomized model and took the electroacupuncture therapy at 5 different periods. The heat-resistance ability, physical strength and sleeping ability of the rats at different intervention time were recorded. Results: For the rats with perimenopause syndrome at all periods, the electroacupuncture could promote the heat-resistance and the physical strength, shorten the sleep latency and prolong the sleeping time. The results of the rats in the 7 d pre-modeling group, 1 d post-modeling group and 8 d post-modeling group were the best, followed by the results of 15 d post-modeling group and 22 d post-modeling group. Conclusion: The prevention and early intervention of electroacupuncture on the rats with perimenopause syndrome were satisfied and the effect declined with a later intervention time, indicating the importance of prevention and early intervention.
