“…3,4,27,28,30 External qigong has similar features as other forms of energy healing-for example, therapeutic touch, Reiki. The effect sizes (ES) of external qigong in this review (ES ϭ 1.53 compared with general care 14,29 and 0.63 for placebo 10,13 ) seem larger compared with those of similar therapies. 2,24 However, due the use of different assessment measures for evaluating pain and the use of different controls, such comparisons are problematic.…”

291Five percent of menstruating women have severe premenstrual symptoms and impairment of functioning defined as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Clinically significant premenstrual symptoms occur in at least an additional 20% of menstruating women. The diagnosis of PMDD should be confirmed by prospective symptom charting over 2 menstrual cycles to confirm the timing of the symptoms and to rule out other diagnoses. The burden of illness of PMDD includes disruption of parenting and partner relationships and decreased productivity in work roles. In addition, women with PMDD have increased use of health care services such as clinician visits and increased use of prescription medications and over-the-counter preparations. The etiology of PMDD is multifactorial. In particular, dysregulation of the serotonin and allopregnanolone systems is implicated. Several effective treatment options exist, including serotonergic antidepressant medications and an oral contraceptive that contains ethinyl estradiol and drosperinone. In addition, other hormones that suppress ovulation, anxiolytics, cognitive therapy, chasteberry and calcium may be helpful.Cinq pour cent des femmes menstruées ont des symptômes prémenstruels sévères et une incapacité du fonctionnement appelée trouble dysphorique prémenstruel (TDPM). Au moins 20 % de femmes menstruées de plus ont des symptômes prémenstruels cliniquement significatifs. Il faut confirmer le diagnostic de TDPM en suivant les symptômes de façon prospective au cours de deux cycles menstruels afin de confirmer le moment de l'apparition des symptômes et d'exclure d'autres diagnostics. Le fardeau morbide imposé par le TDPM comprend la perturbation des relations avec les enfants et le partenaire et une baisse de productivité au travail. Les femmes atteintes de TDPM ont en outre recours davantage aux services de santé comme les visites aux cliniciens et prennent davantage de médicaments d'ordonnance et en vente libre. L'étiologie du TDPM est multifactorielle. La dysrégulation des systèmes de la sérotonine et de l'allopregnanolone en particulier est mise en cause. Il existe plus d'un traitement efficace possible, y compris des antidépresseurs sérotonin-ergiques et un contraceptif oral qui contient de l'éthinyloestradiol et de la drosperinone. D'autres hormones qui bloquent l'ovulation, des anxiolytiques, la thérapie cognitive, le gattilier (Vitex agnus castus) et le calcium peuvent en outre aider. Review Paper Examen critique DiagnosisAbout 80% of women report at least mild premenstrual symptoms, 20%-50% report moderate-to-severe premenstrual symptoms, and about 5% report severe symptoms for several days with impairment of functioning.

“…It is worth emphasizing that pain was diminished significantly among low back pain sufferers, woman with pre-menstrual symptoms (Jang and Lee, 2004), and chronic pain patients . Moreover, Qi Gong's multidimensional influence on the whole person should be acknowledged as a standard method of rehabilitation, health promotion and prevention.…”
