Systematic Review of Chinese Herbal Foot Bath in the Adjuvant Treatment of Dysmenorrhea (2024)

The results showed that the 18 included randomized controlled trials (involving a total of 1,484 patients with dysmenorrhea) indicated that the use of traditional Chinese medicine foot baths could improve dysmenorrhea symptoms to a certain extent (including pain score, menstrual symptom score, etc.), and the total effective rate was better than that of the control group. The adverse reactions are relatively few and the recurrence rate is also low.
