Abstract

Background: ANXIETY is a factor that is associated with dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of ACUPRESSURE at SPLEEN 6 and LIVER 3 points on the ANXIETY level of patients with primary dysmenorrhea.Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, ACUPRESSURE was applied on SPLEEN 6 and LIVER 3 points. Sixty seven students were evaluated in three menstrual periods. They were assigned to groups using a randomized block design with allocation ratio of 1:1 based on the severity of pain. Spielberger state-trait ANXIETY inventory (STAI) and visual analogue scale for pain intensity were used. Analysis was performed by SPSS-16 software using chi-square, t-test, Mann-Whitney, paired sample t-test and covariance analysis.Results: In LIVER 3 and SPLEEN 6 groups, 11 and 17 students were studied, respectively. The mean ±SD values of apparent ANXIETY before and after intervention for LIVER 3 group were 45.100±9.769 and 38.100±10.608 and for SPLEEN 6 group were 46.823±12.248 and 44.352±11.942, respectively. Reduction of apparent ANXIETY was only significant in the LIVER 3 group (p<0.001). Hidden ANXIETY, however, didn’t show any significant change before and after intervention (p>0.05) in both groups. There was no difference between groups before and after intervention (p>0.05).Conclusion: Since pressure on LIVER 3 point reduced apparent ANXIETY, pressure on LIVER 3 point is recommended in patients with dysmenorrhea.
