Application of acupoint application combined with self-help mindfulness train-ing in menopausal syndrome
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of acupoint application combined with self-help mindfulness training on menopausal syndrome(CS).Methods Ninety-six CS patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 48 cases in each group.Control group received oral medroxyprogesterone acetate,while observation group received acupoint application combined with self-service mindfulness training on the basis of control group.The total effective rates,the scores of Self Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self Rating Depression Scale(SDS),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale(PSQI),Kupperman Scale(KI),the Menopausal Syndrome Quality of Life Scale(MENQOL)with four dimensions,and the levels of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),estradiol(E2),and luteinizing hormone(LH)were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group was higher than that of control group(P<0.05);the SAS,SDS,PSQI,and KI scores of both groups were lower than before treatment,and were lower in observation group than control group(P<0.05);the levels of FSH,LH in both groups were lower than before treatment,and were lower in observation group than control group;E2 levels in both groups were higher than before treatment,and were higher in observation group than control group(P<0.05);the four dimensional scores of MENQOL in both groups were lower than before treatment,and were lower in observation group than control group(P<0.05).Conclusion On the basis of oral medroxyprogesterone acetate,the application effect of acupoint application combined with self-service mindfulness training in treatment of CS is good,significantly alleviating symptoms of anxiety,depression,and insomnia,regulating sexual hormone levels,and improving quality of life.
