Angiopuncture Using Doppler Ultrasound to Treat Pain from Dysmenorrhea in Women Aged 18 to 25

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Doppler ultrasound-guided angiopuncture therapy in females experiencing dysmenorrhea, which is painful menstrual cramps. The study focuses on patients diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea who have regular menstrual cycles and no pelvic pathology. The trial is interventional and sponsored by the City University of Hong Kong. Participants will receive angiopuncture therapy targeted at perforator points identified using Doppler ultrasound. The treatment involves guided angiopuncture focused on reducing menstrual pain. The study includes one treatment group receiving this therapy and monitors changes in pain levels before and after the intervention. During the study, participants pain will be assessed using a visual analog scale at multiple time points before treatment, immediately after treatment, and during three monthly follow-up visits over three months. Researchers will track pain changes and safety throughout this period. The total study duration includes these check-ups to evaluate lasting effects of the therapy.
