女性朋友们经常受到痛经的困扰。国外一项最新研究表明，针灸能够明显缓解痛经及与之相伴的头痛等症状，还能改善经前期综合征。 Researchers in Australia and New Zealand have found that acupuncture can significantly reduce the severity and duration of period pain. 澳大利亚和新西兰的研究人员发现，针灸可以极大地减少痛经的严重程度和持续时间。 The study conducted by Australian and New Zealand researchers also found it relieved associated headaches and nausea. 这项由澳大利亚和新西兰研究人员主持的研究还发现，针灸也能缓解与痛经相关的头痛和恶心问题。 'Our pilot study found that using manual stimulation of the needles, rather than an electrical pulse, commonly used in many Chinese studies for period pain, resulted in reduced need for pain-relieving medication and improvement in secondary symptoms such as headaches and nausea,' said Dr Mike Armour. 迈克•阿穆尔博士说：“我们的初步研究发现，在中国许多的研究中，经常使用人工针灸，而不是电流理疗来治疗痛经。这会减少对止痛药的需求，同时也会改善头痛和恶心等伴随症状，” 'The latter was unexpected and will be explored further in future, larger trials.' “改善伴随症状是我们之前没有预料到的，在未来我们将会通过更大型的实验进一步探索。” |
