Acupuncture proven to be effective for premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

New meta-analysis research reviewing 8 acupuncture and 11 herbal medicine studies revealed a success rate of +50% in treating premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

PMS occurs during the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The research notes that up to “25% of menstruating women report moderate-to-severe premenstrual symptoms. Approximately 5% report severe symptoms.” Acupuncture demonstrated the ability to reduce symptoms by 77.8% within 2-4 treatments.
