摘要

本研究旨在确定薰衣草（Lavandula angustifolia Mill.）精油（LEO）和佛手柑(Citrus×bergamia (Risso) Risso &；点)精油（BEO）和/或正念疗法（MBT）对更年期症状、睡眠质量和血清皮质醇的影响。方法本随机对照试验纳入132例绝经后妇女，年龄50 ~ 60岁，有轻至中度焦虑。招募的女性被分为四组，接受以下治疗：1)对照组：常规护理+ 安慰剂；2)治疗组：MBT + 安慰剂；3)芳香疗法：LEO + BEO芳香疗法+ 常规护理；芳香疗法：MBT + LEO-BEO芳香疗法。芳香疗法组和安慰剂组的参与者被要求将指定的溶液滴2-3滴在前臂皮肤上，每天吸入三次，持续八周。每周举行一次MBT会议，为期两个月。结果两个月后，与对照组相比，芳香疗法组在更年期症状[调整平均差值（aMD）（95 % CI）： - 5.7(- 9.5至- 1.8)]和焦虑[aMD(95 % CI): - 1.9(- 3.4至- 0.4)]方面的总分降低。匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）测量的睡眠质量在治疗组[aMD(95 % CI):−2.6(−4.2至−1.0)]和芳香疗法[aMD(95 % CI):−1.7(−3.3至−0.1)]与对照组相比均有所改善。然而，与对照组相比，联合干预无显著影响（p >； 0.05）。血清皮质醇水平各组间无显著差异（p >； 0.05）。结论mbt和LEO-BEO芳香疗法在治疗绝经期症状和改善睡眠质量方面具有良好的效果。联合治疗没有产生额外的益处。报名编号：irct20131009014957n8报名日期：04/12/2019

The impact of aromatherapy with Citrus bergamia- Lavandula angustifolia essential oil and/or mindfulness-based therapy on postmenopausal health: A factorial randomized controlled trial

Background

This study aimed to determine the effects of combined aromatherapy with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) essential oil (LEO) and Bergamot (Citrus×bergamia (Risso) Risso & Poit) essential oil (BEO) and/or mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) on menopausal symptoms, sleep quality, and serum cortisol.

Methods

This factorial randomized controlled trial included 132 postmenopausal 132 postmenopausal women aged 50–60 years with mild to moderate anxiety. The recruited women were divided into four groups receiving: 1) Control: Usual care + placebo, 2) Therapy: MBT + placebo, 3) Aromatherapy: LEO + BEO Aromatherapy + usual care, and 4) Therapy & Aromatherapy: MBT + LEO-BEO aromatherapy. Participants in the aromatherapy and placebo groups were instructed to apply 2–3 drops of the assigned solution to their forearm skin and inhale it three times daily for eight weeks. Weekly MBT sessions were held over two months.

Results

After two months, the aromatherapy group showed reduced total scores for menopausal symptoms [adjusted mean difference (aMD) (95 % CI): −5.7 (−9.5 to −1.8)] and anxiety [aMD (95 % CI): −1.9 (−3.4 to −0.4)] compared to the control group. Sleep quality, measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), improved in both the therapy [aMD (95 % CI): −2.6 (−4.2 to −1.0)] and aromatherapy [aMD (95 % CI): −1.7 (−3.3 to −0.1)] groups versus controls. However, the combined intervention showed no significant effects compared to control (p > 0.05). Serum cortisol levels did not differ significantly across groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

MBT and LEO-BEO aromatherapy demonstrated favorable outcomes in managing menopausal symptoms and sleep quality. The combination therapy did not yield additional benefits.
