Purpose:Observation of clinical efficacy of auricular points pressing treatment to treat primary dysmenorrhea of qi stagnation and blood stasis type, and providing a seientific basis for its clinical application.Method:Collected 60 cases which diagnosed with Primary dysmenorrhea qi stagnation and blood stasis type of patients, from January 2010 to January 2011 period at the outpatients of Guangdong hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, they were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group 30 cases,30 cases of the control group.

Results:(1)Compared with two groups before treatment, there was no statistical significant differences among age,disease course and disease severity. (2) The overall effects of the treatment group:healed in 12 cases,11 cases markedly effective,5 cases efficient,2 cases invalid and the total efficiency of 93.33 percent; control group cured 5 cases, 8 cases Markedly effective,9 cases efficient,8 cases invalid, and the total efficiency of 80 percent.
