摘要

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of acupressure at Zuehai(Sp 10) and Sanyinjiao(Sp 6) on dysmenorrhea. This was an experimental convenient sampling to have recruited 60 subjects in the eastern area of Taiwan, who were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The heating pad with an acupressure was implemented for the experimental group, and only the heating pad was implemented for the control group. Visual Analog Scale for Pain(VASP) was used to measure pain in pre-test, post-test I, and post-test II. Blood pressure, pulse, and skin temperature were used to measure physiological reactions. SPSS 10.0 for windows was used for data processing. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square analysis, t-test analysis, One Way Analysis of Variance, and Pepeated Measure Analysis of Variance were used to analyze the data. It was found that, as compared with control group, experimental group was likely to have lower pain scores in both post-test I and post-test II(p＜.05). Furthermore, experimental group was likely to have lower systolic pressure and pulse rate, and higher skin temperature(p＜.05)in post-test I based on these findings, health care providers can use the acupressure with heating pad to relieve dysmenorrhea.
