Acupuncture for Menstrual Pain
‘Acupuncture in the treatment of Dysmenorrhoea’ by Zhong Ya and Zhang Shou-qun; The Zhejiang Journal of Tradtional Chinese Medicine.
This is a report on a comparative study of two acupuncture protocols for the treatment of painful menstruation or dysmenorrhoea. 76 women were treated with acupuncture using the technique ‘setting the mountain on fire’ and moxibustion. An other control group of 40 women received acupunture with tonification and sedation techniques. All women in the study presented with; aching and pain in their abdomens at the onset or arrival of menses accompanied by chilled extremeties, perspiration, a pale, white facial complexion, nausea, vomiting. Zhong and Zhang primarily attribute these symptoms to ‘cold and dampness’ settleing in the uterus causing the menstrual blood to congeal. The 76 women in the first group received acupuncture treatment at points Sanyinjiao and Shui Dao with the ‘setting the mountain on fire method. Treatmnet was given once a day. In addition, points Guan Yuan and Zhong Ji were warmed with moxa for twenty minutes each day.
The forty women in the control group were needled with tonification and sedation techniques on Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, Guan Yuan and Qi Hai. In this group needles were retained for thirty and treatment was daily. dry needling practitioners cairns / dry needling practitioners cairns
Of the 76 women treated, 28 were between 16-20 years, 22 were between 26-30 years of age. The shortest length of time a women in the group had suffered with dysmenorrhea was three months and the longest was two years.
Of the 76 women in the first group, thirty one had their menstrual pain eliminated. 34 Markedly improved and 9 some what improved and two experienced no result.
Acupuncture for health Maintainence
A commonly asked question in the clinic is ‘how often should I have treatment?’ Because patients access the services of the clinic in many different ways, the answer will vary considerably. In acute cases such as injuries, colds/flus or infections, treatment may be every couple of days, until symptoms ease. Weekly treatments are pretty common until a condition has stabilised, and the time between treatment gradually increased. Some patients will use acupuncture for particular recurring condition, for example back pain, which flares occasionally, and only needs a session or two to rectify. Others are happy to have a particular ailment ‘cured’ without reaslising the scope of Chinese Medicine and it’s applications. Increasingly, acupuncture and herbal medicine are being used as primary care options, rather than as a last resort. This is mostly by patients who have responded well to different treatments in the past. There are still may who come for the first time after being ‘through the mill’ Many patients are now having regular treatment as part of their health maintenance. Although not necessarily ‘ill’, they will have acupuncture every three, four, six etc weeks to avoid becoming run down, stressed and susceptible to whatever is going around. Just as we try to have our cars serviced every 10,000km to ensure their efficiency and reliability, we could pay a bit more attention to our bodies (and minds). Chinese medicine has been shown to improved the immune system and help minimise the effects of stress, diet and overwork. In some parts of ancient china, the village doctor was paid to regularly treat any imbalances of the qi and blood that arose in their patients vefore they developed into anything serious. If a patient did fall ill they were treated until they got better, with no extra renumeration. This was the original form of health insurance (and medicare!). dr

Acupuncture and Bi Polar Disorder
million American suffer from Bi polar disorder (manic-dcases do not respond adequately to conventional therapy. In the search for new treatments, the US National Institute of Mental health is funding research into the use of acupuncture for bipolar disorder, to be carried out at UT South western Medical Centre, Dallas.
The study will involve 30 male and female patients (aged 18-65 years) randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive acupuncture directed toward treating depressive symptoms; the other will receive non-specific acupuncture. Patients, who will maintain their regular medications, will not know which type of acupuncture they are receiving.
Both groups will be treated free for eight weeks with the patients receiving non-specific acucupuncture at the conclusion of the trial. The study aims to learn whether supplementing bipolar patients medications with acupuncture will allow some to reduce the medication.
Depression Studyepressive illness) and in many
The UK’s Mental health foundation has proposed that acupuncture should be made more available to depressed patients. They carried out an investigation into ear acupuncture and it’s potential benefits for women with mental health problems. Eight women volunteers with long term mental health problems, including eating disorders, depression, anxiety and obsessive disorder, took part, receiving weekly ear acupuncture treatments for six months.
The women involved in the study reported feeling more relaxed and calm, having improved sleep, more energy and greater confidence, and these benefits increased if the treatment was repeated regularly over a number of weeks. Two women even came off anti-depressants during the research, one after six years of taking them.

Research into Endometriosis
The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine has received a $250,000 grant from the National Centre of Complementary and Alternative Medicine to fund a two-year research programme into the treatment of endometriosis by acupuncture and herbal medicine.
The results will be compared to standard hormone therapy. In the TCM treatment group, acupuncture and herbal treatment will be determined by one of four defined differential patterns. Endometriosis affects 10-15% of women of child bearing age, giving rise to symptoms such as abdominal pain and infertility.
