[A trial of the treatment of the premenstrual syndrome by acupuncture].
After a clinical and physiopathological review of the premenstrual syndrome, the author reports six cases of patients showing these symptoms who were treated exclusively by acupuncture. The clear improvement shown makes it worthwhile to continue the trial and to extend it to include other domains of functional gynaecology.
