Abstract

Background: Primary DYSMENORRHEA may lead to severe ANXIETY and PAIN relief during menstruation may reduce the ANXIETY levels.This study was aimed to determine the effect of ACUPRESSURE at third LIVER and placebo points on the ANXIETY level in patients withprimary DYSMENORRHEA.Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted in parallel in the CONTROL and treatment groups for three menstrualperiods at the dormitory of Kashan University of Medical Sciences between March and June 2012. Students with PAIN scoreequal to or greater than 4 were selected and divided into groups based on severity of PAIN using a randomized block designwith the allocation ratio of 1: 1. ACUPRESSURE was applied in two acupoints including third LIVER point (Liv3) and placebo points.Spielberg (STAI) ANXIETY questionnaire was completed before and after intervention. Randomization, subjects, and data analyzerwere blinded to the analysis. Chi‑square tests, t‑test, Mann–Whitney, paired sample t‑test, and univariate analysis of variancewere used for statistical analysis. P values<0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results: Mean [standard deviation (SD)] values of apparent ANXIETY levels before and after intervention for liv3 were 45.100 (9.769)and 38.100 (10.608), respectively. For the CONTROL group, they were 41.200 (9.795) and 38.900 (10.140), respectively. Differencewas significant only in the intervention group (P<0.001). Hidden ANXIETY did not show a significant change before and afterintervention. There was no difference between groups in apparent or hidden ANXIETY after intervention.Conclusions: Pressure on liv3 point reduces ANXIETY. As there are no previous studies on this topic, further studies with moresamples are recommended.
