Deep pressure on these points may induce referred pain. Procedure: Begin by disinfecting the treatment sites. Use a traditional acupuncture needle (0.35×50mm) to repeatedly stimulate the designated point until muscle soreness and localized twitching are felt.

Dry needling therapy targeting myofascial trigger points for primary dysmenorrhea has been preliminarily applied in clinical settings. However, related research is limited with questionable quality, hindering its widespread clinical application. Furthermore, is there a connection between myofascial trigger points in dry needling and acupuncture acupoints in terms of selection and mechanism of action? Could this be a new interpretation of acupuncture theory? These are important questions that have garnered widespread attention. This study employs a randomized patient-blinded controlled design, enrolling primary dysmenorrhea patients aged 18 to 30 years. They are randomly divided into three groups: the trigger point dry needling group, traditional acupuncture treatment group, and trigger point sham needle (placebo) group. Changes in pain levels, quality of life scores, inflammatory factor levels, and local blood flow before and after treatment among the three groups are observed. The aim is to assess the therapeutic effects of dry needling trigger points and acupuncture treatments on primary dysmenorrhea and explore their potential mechanisms of action. By comparing the differences and similarities between dry needling trigger points and acupuncture treatments in terms of acupoint selection, treatment effects, and potential mechanisms of action, this study seeks to preliminarily explore the feasibility of integrating trigger point theory into the meridian 'acupoint' theory, laying the foundation for a modern interpretation of acupuncture",[93,94,95],"Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial","Acupuncture","Primary Dysmenorrhea",[97],"trigger points, dry-needling, primary dysmenorrhea","2025-05-17",{"date":100,"type":101},"2025-05-21","ACTUAL",{"date":103,"type":101},"2024-04-01",{"date":105,"type":87},"2026-12-31",{"name":5,"class":6},2]
