Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation as Treatment for Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea Primary Clinical Trial

Official title:
Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation as Treatment for Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to verify whether transcutaneous stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve improves pain, quality of life and sleep deficiency in patients with pain related to their menstrual period in the short and medium-long term. The hypothesis of the study states that by applying that method to the patients, a decrease or disappearance of pain in menstruation should happen, as well as an improvement in quality of life and sleep deficiency. The study will consist of: - An interview, lasting 30 minutes, in which the characteristics of the study will be explained. In case of wishing to participate, it will be required to sign the informed consent document and to fill out the medical history sheet. - An evaluation phase: in which it will be necessary to fill out a number of questionnaires during two consecutive menstrual periods. - An intervention phase: consisting of 12 30-minute treatment sessions, once a week. The patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. In both groups, a current will be applied to different locations on the legs. The technique will be performed through four/two electrodes leg attached to the skin. This stimulation will not be painful at any time nor will it have harmful effects on the patients health. In this phase, the individual should continue filling out the questionnaires provided in each period. On the last day of treatment, a scale of satisfaction with the treatment will be retrieved. - A re-evaluation phase: in which the individual shall fill out a number of questionnaires a month, 3 and 6 months after finishing the treatment.
