| Based on the Chinese medicine theory of qi———life view of the unity of body-Qi-mind.5D Life Optimization System was applied to proceed a research by intervening in primary dysmenorrhea of qi stagnation and blood stasis among college students.By observing the remarkable effect of 5D life optimization system intervention in patients with primary dysmenorrhea of qi stagnation and blood stasis as well as offering new approaches and means for clinical intervention of primary dysmenorrhea,it allows us to further optimize the test basis for the later development and application with this system and greatly facilitate the growth of non-pharmaceutical health care therapies in the long run.METHODS:We chose eighty female undergraduates with primary dysmenorrhea due to Qi stagnation and blood stasis as our experimental subjects.All of them were divided into two different groups in the form of a table of random numbers——a test group and a control group.(The final subjects being effectively and medically tested were 39 in the test group and 40 in the control group.)The test group received the 5D Life Optimization System intervention for two menstrual cycles(with nine weeks in total),three times a week for 30 minutes each time,and the opposite did not receive any experiments of the 5D Life Optimization System intervention.We conducted the pre-test before the start of the trial group,the mid-test at the fifth week(after one menstrual cycle of the intervention)and the post-test at the nineth week(after two menstrual cycles of the intervention)respectively.Intervention evaluation indicators are subjective evaluation scales.The scales mainly included visual analogue scale(VAS),dysmenorrhea scale,retrospective symptom scale,Chinese medicine symptom scale,self-reported health scale(SRHMS)and anxiety self-measurement scale(SAS).RESULTS:1.There were no statistical differences between the test group and the control group in age,course,and pre-test indicators such as total Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,Total score of dysmenorrhea degree criteria,retrospective symptom scale,Chinese Medicine Evidence Rating Scale,Self-Reported Health Scale(SRHMS)and Self-Assessment Scale(SAS)(P>0.05),indicated that the two groups were well comparable.2.The intervention lasted until the fifth week(the mid-test after one menstrual cycle)of the experiment,in the control group,there was no statistically obvious difference(P>0.05)in the changes of the total score of the standardized degree of dysmenorrhea in the Chinese test,the retrospective symptom scale in the Chinese test,the Chinese medical evidence rating scale in the Chinese test,the Self-Anxiety Scale(SAS)in the Chinese test,and the Self-Reported Health Scale(SRHMS)in the Chinese test;With statistically significant differences(P<0.01)presented in our research,the total scores of the mid-test dysmenorrhea degree criterion,the mid-test retrospective symptom scale,and the mid-test Chinese medical evidence scale were significantly lower than both in those of the results of the pre-test shown in the test group and that of the control group over this period(P<0.01).At this time,the total score of the Self-Anxiety Scales(SAS)in the Chinese test was lower than that in the pretest companied with a statistically outstanding difference(P<0.01).Although the total score was lower than that in the control group,there was no statistical difference(P>0.05);The total score of the Self-Rated Health Scale(SRHMS)in the Chinese test was higher than that in the pretest along with a statistically significant difference(P<0.01).Although the total score was higher than that in the control group,there was no statistical difference(P>0.05).The above results indicate that when it comes to the fifth week of the trial,there were no remarkable change in the overall condition of the control group without intervention;While the significant improvement occurred in the test group with intervention in the pain degree of dysmenorrhea,various symptoms of dysmenorrhea,TCM syndromes,self-measured health level and anxiety level.Moreover,TCM symptoms was more obvious than the control group in terms of the improvement in the level of dysmenorrhea pain and various symptoms of dysmenorrhea(P<0.01).3.After 9 weeks of intervention(the post-test after two menstrual cycles),with a statistically significant difference(P<0.01),the total score of the post-test self-measurement health scale(SRHMS)was higher than that of the pre-test along and the control group(P<0.01).In the control group,there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the changes of the total score of the posttest visual analog scale(VAS),the post-test dysmenorrhea degree criterion,the post-test retrospective symptom scale,the posttest Chinese medicine evidence scale,the post-test anxiety autonomy scale(SAS),and the post-test self-reported health rating scale(SRHMS);With statistically significant differences(P<0.01)presented in our research,the total scores of the posttest visual analog scale(VAS),the posttest dysmenorrhea degree criterion,the posttest retrospective symptom scale,the posttest TCM evidence scale,and the posttest anxiety self-measurement scale(SAS)in the test group were lower than those in the pretest as well as those shown in the control group over this period(P<0.01).The above results indicate that when it comes to the ninth week of the trial,there were no remarkable change in the overall condition of the control group without intervention;While the significant improvement occurred in the test group with intervention in the pain degree of dysmenorrhea,various symptoms of dysmenorrhea,TCM syndromes,self-measured health level and anxiety level.Moreover,their improvements are more obvious than the control group(P<0.01).CONCLUSIONS:(1)The 5D Life Optimization System can effectively reduce the pain level of qi stagnation and blood stasis type dysmenorrhea.(2)The 5D Life Optimization System can improve various discomfort symptoms including primary and secondary symptoms of dysmenorrhea with Qi stagnation and blood stasis.(3)5D Life Optimization System can perfect health physically,mentally and socially in those patients with dysmenorrhea caused by Qi stagnation and blood stasis as well as better make our health well-developed both in mind and body.(4)5D Life Optimization System can alleviate qi stagnation and blood stasis type dysmenorrhea... |
