“…It is characterized by lower abdominal pain occurring just before or during menstruation, without any evident pelvic pathology, typically emerging 6-12 months or 1-2 years following menarche (3,4). Secondary dysmenorrhea accounts for about 10% of dysmenorrhea cases, and the most common cause is endometriosis (5). The pain associated with dysmenorrhea can range from moderate to severe and significantly impairs quality of life, affecting approximately 72.8% of women (2).…”

BackgroundDrawing on the principles of wrist-ankle acupuncture (WAA), our research team has developed a portable device for WAA point compression, termed the acupressure wrist-ankle strap (AWA). The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the AWA in alleviating pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea.MethodsA single-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted from April 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019. 78 participants with primary dysmenorrhea were recruited from Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. All participants were treated on the first day of menstruation for 30 min. Participants in the AWA group used the AWA, the internal side of which is equipped with a tip compression component, while participants in the non-acupressure wrist-ankle acupuncture(NAWA)group used the NAWA, with the inside tip pressing parts removed. The main outcome was the difference in visual analogue scale (VAS) score between baseline and 30 minutes after randomization.ResultsA total of 78 participants aged 18 to 30 years were included in the intention-to-treat analyses. The VAS scores (mean [standard deviation]) in the AWA group were significantly lower than those in the NAWA group at each time point of intervention (5 minutes: 95% CI, [−1.27 to −0.68], p < 0.001; 10 minutes: 95% CI, [−2.34 to −1.51], p < 0.001; 30 minutes: 95% CI, [−3.74 to −2.72], p < 0.001). In the AWA group, 16 participants reported “obvious relief” of dysmenorrhea pain while 23 did not; the average onset time of analgesia they reported were (21.50 ± 3.65) min, while no subjects in NAWA group reported obvious pain relief. The pain threshold (mean [standard deviation]) at SP9 of both sides in AWA group decreased significantly after intervention that in NAWA group (Left: 95% CI, [−5.02 to −1.81], p < 0.001; Right: 95% CI, [−7.67 to −4.24], p < 0.001). There was no significant change in the temperature at CV4 in either group (95% CI, [−0.63 to −0.66], p = 0.970).ConclusionThis trial substantiates our hypothesis that the AWA provides immediate analgesic effects. The AWA represents an effective and safe non-invasive physical therapy option, which patients can self-administer to alleviate abdominal pain

“…1 Risk factors for primary dysmenorrhoea include smoking, menarche <12 years, age <30 years, longer and heavier menstrual flow, low or high body mass index (<20 or >30), nulliparity, positive family history, previous sexual assault, premenstrual symptoms, previous pelvic inflammatory disease and psychological disorders. 6,12,13 Protective factors include increasing age, increasing parity, exercise and oral contraceptive use. 6,14,15 The main mechanism of primary dysmenorrhoea, whether primary or secondary, appears to be uterine myometrial hypercontractility and vasoconstriction as a result of elevated levels of prostaglandins released by degenerating cells during endometrial sloughing.…”

“…Dysmenorrhea, prevalent among women of reproductive age, is a common gynecological disorder, transcending racial differences. [1,2] It manifests primarily as pain in the lower abdomen or back, usually commencing before menstruation and persisting through its duration. The release of excess prostaglandins during menstruation, resulting in the contraction and ischemia of the myometrium, has been identified as its primary cause.…”

Two representative Kampo formulas, keishibukuryogan and tokishakuyakusan, are frequently prescribed for patients with dysmenorrhea. We previously constructed a model that could predict which of these 2 formulas was most suitable, which is based on 4 subjective symptoms and 3 objective signs. To evaluate the prognosis of patients with dysmenorrhea using the established prediction model and assess the treatment outcomes between those treated in accordance with the prediction model and those who received various other treatments. In this retrospective, observational study, we included patients with menstrual pain who visited the Kampo Clinic at the Keio University Hospital for the first time between October 2014 and December 2020. These patients were monitored over a 90-day follow-up period. Participants were categorized into 2 groups: model-accordance and various-options. The progression of visual analogue scale (VAS) values was evaluated by determining the slopes from regression analysis between these 2 groups, with changes corroborated by the medical records. The study comprised 57 patients: 37 in the model-accordance group and 20 in the various-options group. Notably, the various-options group reported a significantly higher number of subjective symptoms (P = .03). The VAS value showed a decline, as indicated by the negative slope value of the regression line, across both groups – irrespective of their classification. There were no significant differences in the occurrence of adverse events between the 2 groups. The prognosis of patients with dysmenorrhea and the incidence of adverse events remained consistent, regardless of whether the treatment approach was in accordance with the prediction model or varied. Further studies are warranted to assess the prognosis when Kampo formulas are chosen based on the prediction model in the various-options population.
