Abstract

En 中文
Anti-inflammatory drugs relieve primary dysmenorrhea (PDM), and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) is a potential treatment target. Electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective alternative strategy for treating PDM as it regulates the NLRP3 inflammasome. However, the exact anti-inflammatory mechanism of EA remains unclear. Therefore, this study explored the therapeutic effect of EA on PDM and determined the potential involvement of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
