RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of PHENIX electrical stimulation in preventing complications after missed abortion.Method A thousand patients receiving uterine cavity operation on missed abortion were randomized into two groups, 500 cases in each group. Patients in the two groups were asked to orally take Estradiol valerate, successively for 3 d prior to the operation. Right after the operation, the treatment group started to receive electrical stimulation at Guanyuanshu (BL 26) and Guanyuan (CV 4) via PHENIX USB 4/8 neuromuscular stimulation therapeutic apparatus, together with conventional preventive anti-inflammatory treatment; the control group only received the conventional preventive anti-inflammatory treatment after the operation. The colporrhagia duration and the resumption of menstruation in the two groups were observed, and the menstruation, postoperative adhesion ratio and adhesion rate were compared between the two groups.Result There were significant differences in comparing the duration of colporrhagia and the time of the resumption of menstruation after the operation between the two groups (P<0.05); there were significant differences in comparing the postoperative menstruation, intrauterine adhesion ratio and adhesion rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion PHENIX electrical stimulation can shorten the time of colporrhagia after missed abortion, promote the resumption of menstruation, and effectively prevent intrauterine adhesions.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at Back-Shu and Front-Mu points in treating primary dysmenorrhea.Method Totally 150 patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomized into a treatment group, control group 1, and control group 2, 50 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at Back-Shu and Front-Mu points, while control group 1 was by ordinary acupuncture and control group 2 was by orally takingNuan Gong Qi Wei powder. The treatments lasted 3 successive menstrual cycles in the three groups without using other pain killers. The symptom scores were observed before and after treatment, and the dysmenorrhea intensity grading and clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 96.0% in the treatment group versus 84.0% in control group 1 and 62.0% in control group 2, and the total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the other two groups (P<0.01). The total effective rate of control group 1 was significantly different from that of control group 2 (P<0.01). After treatment, the dysmenorrhea intensity grading of the treatment group was significantly different from that of both control group 1 and 2 (P<0.01). The dysmenorrhea intensity grading of control group 1 was significantly different from that of control group 2 (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture at Back-Shu and Front-Mu points is an effective approach in treating primary dysmenorrhea.
