Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the clinical effect of Aroma Ceramic Moxibustion in the treatment of dysmenorrhea patients.
Methods: We studied 53 women from 18 to 30 years old who visited Kyung-Hee university medical center from May, 2008 to October, 2008. We randomly divided women into two groups, We treated one group with Aroma ceramic moxibustion, and treated another group with Aroma moxibustion for 2 months. The severity of dysmenorrhea were measured by VAS(Visual Analogue Scale). And we measured temperature of patient’s abdomen by DITI.
Results: Moxibustion significantly decreased the severity of dysmenorrhea. After treatment, the temperature of CV3 get higher than before treatment. But there is no difference between Aroma Ceramic Moxibustion and Ceramic Moxibustion.
Conclusion: This study shows that Moxibustion has remarkable effects on dysmenorrhea patients, but Aroma Ceramic moxibustion is not better than Aroma moxibustion.
