Abstract：Objective:To observe the curative effects of "ataraxia electroacupuncture" on perimenopausal syndrome (PMS). Methods:60 cases of PMS were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group ,30 cases in each group. The treatment group were treated with "ataraxia electroacupuncture" and the control group with oral administration of Climen tablets for 3 courses of the treatment. The therapeutic effects and changes of scores of Kupperman index (KI) were investigated before and after treatment for 1 month,3 month,finished treatment for 3 month,and 6 month,and serum estradiol (E2),follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH) levels before and after treatment were observed. Results:The total effective rate was 90.00%in treatment group while 93.33%in control group ,with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the scores of KI in every time point was significantly decreased (P<0.01),but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the same time point (P>0.05). And the scores of KI were increased slightly in 3 month and 6 month after treatment,which was more clear in the control group,but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). And after treatment,serum E2,FSH and LH levels were all better than before treatment in both group(P<0.01),but there were no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions:"Ataraxia electroacupuncture"is safe and effective for treatment of perimenopausal syndrome ,and worth promoting.
