BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common ailments affecting young and middle-aged women, significantly impacting their quality of life. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers unique advantages in treating dysmenorrhea. However, an accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure correct treatment. This research integrates the age-old wisdom of TCM with modern Machine Learning (ML) techniques to enhance the precision and efficiency of dysmenorrhea syndrome differentiation, a pivotal process in TCM diagnostics and treatment planning.

METHODS: A total of 853 effective cases of dysmenorrhea were retrieved from the CNKI database, including patients' syndrome types, symptoms, and features, to establish the TCM information database of dysmenorrhea. Subsequently, 42 critical features were isolated from a potential set of 86 using a selection procedure augmented by Python's Scikit-Learn Library. Various machine learning models were employed, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), each chosen for their potential to unearth complex patterns within the data.

RESULTS: Based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics, SVM emerged as the most effective model, showcasing an impressive precision of 98.29% and an accuracy of 98.24%. This model's analytical prowess not only highlighted the critical features pivotal to the syndrome differentiation process but also stands to significantly aid clinicians in formulating personalized treatment strategies by pinpointing nuanced symptoms with high precision.

CONCLUSION: The study paves the way for a synergistic approach in TCM diagnostics, merging ancient wisdom with computational acuity, potentially innovating the diagnosis and treatment mode of TCM. Despite the promising outcomes, further research is needed to validate these models in real-world settings and extend this approach to other diseases addressed by TCM.
