Filter by:Primary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain not caused by pelvic organic lesions, commonly seen in young women, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Dry needling therapy targeting myofascial trigger points for primary dysmenorrhea has been preliminarily applied in clinical settings. However, related research is limited with questionable quality, hindering its widespread clinical application. Furthermore, is there a connection between myofascial trigger points in dry needling and acupuncture acupoints in terms of selection and mechanism of action? Could this be a new interpretation of acupuncture theory? These are important questions that have garnered widespread attention. This study employs a randomized patient-blinded controlled design, enrolling primary dysmenorrhea patients aged 18 to 30 years. They are randomly divided into three groups: the trigger point dry needling group, traditional acupuncture treatment group, and trigger point sham needle (placebo) group. Changes in pain levels, quality of life scores, inflammatory factor levels, and local blood flow before and after treatment among the three groups are observed. The aim is to assess the therapeutic effects of dry needling trigger points and acupuncture treatments on primary dysmenorrhea and explore their potential mechanisms of action. By comparing the differences and similarities between dry needling trigger points and acupuncture treatments in terms of acupoint selection, treatment effects, and potential mechanisms of action, this study seeks to preliminarily explore the feasibility of integrating trigger point theory into the meridian 'acupoint' theory, laying the foundation for a modern interpretation of acupuncture
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of EFT application on the level of dysmenorrhea and stress perception in women with dysmenorrhea. For this purpose, EFT will be applied to women with dysmenorrhea with high stress perception assigned to the experimental and control groups, and their stress perceptions and dysmenorrhea levels will be re-evaluated after the application. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used in the research.
Primary dysmenorrhea is a common under-diagnosed complaint, with a prevalence of about 45-95% in women of childbearing age and about 10-25% in severe cases. Menstrual pain can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary menstrual pain is a crampy pain in the lower abdomen without any pelvic pathology, which usually occurs 6 to 12 months after the first menstruation. Primary menstrual pain is usually most severe on the first day of the menstrual cycle and lasts for 8 to 72 hours. The cause is still unknown, but studies suggest that it may be related to increased prostaglandins, which cause painful contractions of the uterus. The pain is often accompanied by other menstrual discomfort symptoms, including headache, breast tenderness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, and psychological anxiety, depression or irritability. In the case of secondary menstrual pain, there are clear pelvic pathologies, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
The goal of this crossover study is to assessed the treatment efficacy of posterior tibia nerve neuroprolotherapy on dysmenorrhea. The primary outcome is the improvement of Visual Analogue Scale. The main question it aims to answer is: •Could the posterior tibial nerve neuroprolotherapy alleviate the pain of dysmenorrhea. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups, Group-1 will receive neuroprolotherapy in the first 2 menstrual cycles followed by oral acetaminophen(500mg) for the subsequent 2 menstrual cycles. Group02 will received oral acetaminophen(500mg) in initial 2 menstrual cycles, followed by receiving neuroprolotherapy for the subsequent 2 menstrual cycles.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of mindfulness practice to cope with dysmenorrhea on pain and anxiety levels. The project will be carried out in a semi-randomized controlled manner. It will be applied to 100 students with dysmenorrhea (100 students by increasing by 10%, taking into account the losses that may occur in the 90 students determined in the sample calculation). Students who meet the inclusion criteria and approve of participating in the project will be given a pre-test before the application. 'Introductory Information Form', 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the pre-test. After the pre-test, mindfulness practice will be applied for 8 weeks (1 day/120 minutes per week). At the end of 8 weeks, an intermediate test will be performed in the first 3 days of the first menstrual cycle. After the mid-term test, students will practice mindfulness on their own with the brochures provided. Motivational messages will be sent to students for mindfulness practice, starting 3 days before their cycle. The final test will be administered 3 months after the intermediate test. 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the mid-test and post-test.
The pilot study investigates the influence of a dysmenorrhoea app on the quality of life and symptoms of women with dysmenorrhoea. The intervention group can use the app over the study period of 12 weeks in addition to usual care, while the control group only receives the usual standard care. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the app and to gain insights for the design of future studies. The study is expected to last seven months and include 100-200 participants.
The purpose of this study if to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DEH113 in the Treatment of Menstrual Cramp Pain Associated With Primary Dysmenorrhea.
The purpose of this project is to know the effectiveness of an intervention based on the consumption of fresh strawberries from the Huelva region on menstrual pain and menstrual distress in young university students with primary dysmenorrhea, compared to a control group of students. The participants with dysmenorrhea will be divided into two groups, the assignment will be random to the intervention group with strawberry intake for a month and comparing its effect with de control group. The results of the evaluations carried out prior, to the month and 2 months of the intervention will be compared.
Endometriosis is a complex and debilitating gynecological condition affecting millions of women worldwide. It is characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and reduced quality of life. While pharmacological interventions are commonly prescribed to manage symptoms, their efficacy may be limited, and they often come with adverse effects. Therefore, exploring non-pharmacological approaches, such as exercise, is crucial in improving the management of endometriosis-related symptoms. Aerobic exercise has gained attention as a potential therapeutic intervention for endometriosis due to its positive effects on pain modulation, hormonal regulation, and overall well-being.
The effectiveness of non-invasive neuromodulation in adult women with primary dysmenorrhea, through the TENS stimulation at different times in each group: during the bleeding phase (G1), between days 25-28 and 1-3 of menstrual cycle, and in the luteal phase (GI2), between days 17 to 24 of menstrual cycle. The control group (CG) will be treated just like GI1, during the bleeding phase, but without the TENS transmitting the current. Participants will be evaluated by the NPRS, MPQ, SF12, CVM-22, HADS, PCS, PSQI and UDP immediately after treatment in GI1 and GC, and at the beginning of the next bleeding phase, being 28 days after the intervention in the case of GI1 and GC, and 7 days after the intervention in the case of GI2, as well as 28 days after in this last.
