چکیده

مقدمه: یائسگی، یکی از بحران‌های زندگی زنان است که در طی این زمان اکثر زنان علائم جسمی و روانی همراه با تغییرات خلقی را تجربه می‌کنند. در بین درمان‌های جایگزین غیرهورمونی، گیاهان دارویی دارای فیتواستروژن بیشتر مورد توجه قرار گرفته‌اند،لذا مطالعه حاضر با هدف مقایسه‌ تأثیر کوهش سیاه و پنج‌انگشت بر علائم یائسگی انجام شد.
روش‌کار: این مطالعه کارآزمایی بالینی دوسوکور در سال 1394 بر روی 135 زن یائسه تحت پوشش مراکز بهداشتی درمانی شهر رفسنجان انجام شد. افراد در سه گروه کوهش‌سیاه، پنج‌انگشت و کنترل قرار گرفتند. داده‌های مربوط به علائم یائسگی با استفاده از پرسش‌نامه MRS قبل از مداخله، 4 و 8 هفته بعد از مداخله گرد‌آوری شد. تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS‌ (نسخه 18) و آزمون‌های آنالیز واریانس، کای اسکوئر و من‌‌ویتنی انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته‌ها: میانگین نمره کل علائم یائسگی قبل از مداخله در سه گروه کوهش سیاه، پنج‌انگشت و کنترل تفاوت آماری معناداری نداشت (85/0=p)، اما 4 و 8 هفته پس از مداخله، اختلاف آماری معناداری بین سه گروه وجود داشت (001/0>p)؛ به‌طوری‌که میانگین نمره کل علائم یائسگی در دو گروه کوهش سیاه و پنج‌انگشت از گروه کنترل کمتر و میانگین نمره کل علائم یائسگی دو گروه کوهش سیاه و پنج‌انگشت اختلاف آماری معناداری نداشت (05/0<p).
نتیجه‌گیری: با توجه به تأثیر هر دو گیاه پنج‌انگشت و کوهش سیاه بر بهبود علائم یائسگی، استفاده از این درمان توصیه می‌شود، اما استفاده از پنج‌انگشت به‌علت رویش آن در ایران، مقرون به صرفه‌تر به نظر می‌رسد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Menopause is one of the crises in women’s life and most women experience physical and psychological symptoms along with mood changes during this period. Among non-hormonal alternative treatments, medicinal herbs with phytoestrogen have been more considered. Therefore, the present study was conducted with aim to compare the effect of black Cohosh versus Vitagnus on the improvement of menopause symptoms.
Methods: This double-blind clinical trial was performed on 135 menopausal women who were under the coverage of the health centers of Rafsanjan in 2015. The subjects were randomly assigned into three groups of black Cohosh, Vitagnus and control. Data about menopause symptoms were collected using MRS questionnaire before, four weeks and eight weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 18), and variance analysis, Chi-square, and Mann-Whitney tests. PResults: There was no significant statistical difference in the mean of total score of menopausal symptoms in the three groups of black Cohosh, Vitagnus and control before the intervention (p = 0.85). Four and eight weeks after the intervention, there was a significant statistical difference between the three groups (p < 0.001); so that the mean of total score of menopausal symptoms in two groups of black Cohosh and Vitagnus was less than the control group, and the mean of total score of menopausal symptoms in two groups of black Cohosh and Vitagnus had no significant difference (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of both plants of black Cohosh and Vitagnus on the improvement of menopause symptoms, it is recommended to use this treatment, but the use of Vitagnus seems more affordable because it is a local plant in Iran.
