Individualized Acupoint Therapy for Dysmenorrhea: An Exploratory Research Design and Feasibility Assessment Based on Meridian Measurement

Primary dysmenorrhea is a common condition that significantly affects young women's quality of life. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupoint interventions are widely used for symptom relief; however, standardized fixed-acupoint approaches often overlook individual meridian status variations.

This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and physiological responses of an individualized meridian-guided intervention for primary dysmenorrhea in females aged 18-30. Utilizing non-invasive skin electrical resistance measurements (AETOSCAN) to assess baseline meridian energy status, eligible dysmenorrhea participants will be randomized into two parallel arms: an individualized meridian-guided intervention group and a standardized fixed-acupoint group. Interventions will be administered twice weekly over a 4-week cycle. The primary outcomes focus on changes in pain severity (VAS), menstrual distress scores (MDQ), and objective meridian electrical characteristics.

干预/治疗
有源比较器:Active Control: Standard Acupoint Group
Participants in this arm receive standardized, fixed-acupoint laser acupuncture (or sham-like press-needle/seeding on standard dysmenorrhea points such as SP6, CV4, CV6) regardless of their individual meridian electrical resistance profile.
Application of low-level laser acupuncture on predefined classic acupoints (SP6, CV4, CV6) for 20 minutes per session, twice per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
Application of low-level laser acupuncture tailored to individual meridian imbalance profiles identified by AETOSCAN, for 20 minutes per session, twice per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
实验性的:Experimental: Individualized Meridian-Guided Group
Participants in this arm receive individualized laser acupuncture based on real-time meridian electrical resistance measurements using AETOSCAN prior to each intervention session.
Application of low-level laser acupuncture on predefined classic acupoints (SP6, CV4, CV6) for 20 minutes per session, twice per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
Application of low-level laser acupuncture tailored to individual meridian imbalance profiles identified by AETOSCAN, for 20 minutes per session, twice per week for 4 consecutive weeks.

研究衡量的是什么?

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in Dysmenorrhea Pain Severity via Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
大体时间:Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).

The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 0-100 mm continuous scale used to measure subjective menstrual pain severity (0 = no pain, 100 = worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.

Time Frame: Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).

Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in Menstrual Distress Symptoms via Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ Form C)
大体时间:Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).
The MDQ Form C consists of 46 items across 8 subscales assessed on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = no symptom to 4 = severe symptom). Total scores range from 0 to 184, with higher scores reflecting greater menstrual distress.
Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).
Change in Meridian Electrical Resistance Profiles
大体时间:Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).
Objective skin electrical resistance (in microamperes, µA) measured across twelve primary meridian Yuan-Source points using the AETOSCAN system to assess systemic physiological energy shifts.
Baseline (Pre-treatment), Mid-treatment (Week 2 of intervention), and Post-treatment (Week 4, immediately following intervention completion).
