What studies reveal about menstrual pain and acupuncture?
A few years back, researchers conducted a pilot study on 74 women between the age group of 18 to 45. All of them were suffering from primary dysmenorrhea without any known symptoms of secondary dysmenorrhea. All those women were given acupuncture treatment by professionals, but the therapy was conducted in four different groups. The groups were divided into four categories as low-frequency electro-acupuncture, high-frequency electro-acupuncture, low-frequency manual acupuncture, and high-frequency manual acupuncture.
Note that the manual acupuncture works with manual stimulation of sharp needles whereas, for the electro-acupuncture session, professionals use electrical pulse.
All those 74 women received 12 treatments during three mensural cycles. The sessions were distributed as three times a week for the high-frequency groups and once per week for the low-frequency groups. All four groups received their acupuncture treatment during the first 48 hours of their period. All the participants of this pilot study were also asked to maintain a diary for their cycle. The results were pretty surprising. More than half of these women experienced a 50% reduction in their period of pain as a result of this three-month treatment. It was also reported that the manual acupuncture technique was more effective as compared to the electric pulses.
The treatment not just reduces pain intensity; rather, it also benefited them with a better quality of life. Many such studies are conducted by experts around the world, and acupuncture has now become one of the most trusted solutions for menstrual pains.
