Women need not suffer anymore because of their menstrual aches as because studies carried on in Germany have reported that acupuncture can be used as a good way of treatment to relieve patients from that pain. So soon doctors may recommend this as a possible treatment to all women when they visit their chambers. The main conductor of this research was the Charite University Medical Center in Berlin. Dr. Claudia M. Witt and her co-workers have tested the effect of acupuncture on their women patients and then only they came to such conclusions.

Generally gynecologists treat their women patients with NSAID’s (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). But latest studies proves that though the patient is relieved from the menstrual pain for the time being by such drugs but it can lead to other health hazards in the future. Such cases have been lodged till now as per the doctors, so, the prescription of NSAID’s must be made with caution. Now if acupuncture is recommended for relieving the patients then it can definitely become good news for both the patients and doctors.

As per the doctors’ acupuncture treatment must come under the health insurance policies. The German researchers have already stressed on the point in their American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. In the year 2000 the health insurance governing body has declared to incorporate acupuncture within the standard insurance policies but they put the clause of making further investigation. Until and unless it is cleared that acupuncture can successfully ward off menstrual pain no such measures will be taken by the health insurance companies.

The researchers in order to prove the effectiveness of acupuncture conducted the treatment on 201 women who were suffering from menstrual soreness. It was continued for 3 months after which it was found that the pain was much minimized in the patients and it was even lesser than with the case of the normal treatment procedures. It average pain scale (marked from 1 to 10) reading was 3.1 while 10 is the degree of maximum pain. About 63.4% women were relieved of the pain till date using acupuncture treatment.
