This article summarizes Professor TIAN Conghuo's key points and features of acupuncture for primary dysmenorrhea. Professor TIAN believes that the location of dysmenorrhea is in the uterus, and the fundamental pathogenesis is the disharmony of both form and spirit. During clinical treatment, he first conducts abdominal palpation, often detecting cord-like nodules around Guilai (ST 29), Huangshu (KI 16), and Zigong (EX-CA 1). Needling reaches the depth of these nodules. Additionally, the use of four acupoints around the navel (Shuifen [CV 9], bilateral Huangshu (KI 16), and Yinjiao [CV 7]), and four back-shu points (Ganshu [BL 18], Pishu [BL 20], Shenshu [BL 23], and Geshu [BL 17]) is applied to regulate the spirit and strengthen the body. Point selection is further based on syndrome differentiation. The "Three layers" needling technique is used, emphasizing the mental and emotional state of the patients, calming the spirit and regulating qi and blood, to achieve a harmonious treatment of both form and spirit for dysmenorrhea.
总结田从豁教授针灸治疗原发性痛经的诊治要点与特色。田从豁教授认为痛经病位在小腹，形神失调是其基本病机。临证治疗，先于小腹局部触诊，常于归来、肓俞、子宫穴处触及条索样结节，针刺深度至结节，同时加用脐周四穴（水分、双侧肓俞、阴交）、背俞四穴（肝俞、脾俞、肾俞、膈俞）调神固本，结合辨证配穴，采用三才进针法，重视患者心神状态，守神定气，通其气血，形神并调治疗痛经。.
