Filter by:This study analyse the effectiveness of auricular therapy vs. kinesio tape treatment for pain management of women with primary dysmenorrhoea.
Sixty girls participated in this study and their main complaints were pain and cramping during menstruation. They were divided randomly into two equal groups.
A total of 97 female students, 50 in the intervention group and 47 in the control group, were included in this pretest-posttest design randomized controlled study. Massage and progressive relaxation exercises are self-administered practices that are easy to adopt, with no side effects, and have beneficial effects on pain, sweating, fatigue, and gastrointestinal and central nervous system signs. So, it can be asserted that when applied together, massage and progressive relaxation exercises could be more effective in reducing menstrual symptoms than applying them separately.
Endometriosis is a painful disorder of the uterus affecting 6-10% of women of childbearing age. Endometriosis affects daily activities, social relationships, sexuality and sexual activity, and mental health. This study will evaluate how well elagolix in combination with combined oral contraceptives (COC) works within the body and/or how safe it is compared to placebo (does not contain treatment drug). This study will assess the dysmenorrhea (painful periods) response in participants with endometriosis and associated pain. Elagolix is an approved drug for the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis. Participants are randomly put in 1 of 3 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 3 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Adult female participants who still have periods with a diagnosis of endometriosis will be enrolled. Around 800 participants will be enrolled in the study at multiple sites in the United States, including Puerto Rico. Participants will receive oral elagolix or placebo tablets in combination with combined oral contraceptive (COC) or placebo capsules for 3 months. All the participants will receive elagolix tablets in combination with COC tablets from Month 4 through Month 18. There will be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a blended learning yoga program using virtually tutored home follow-up on pain intensity measured using the VAS scale, quality of life and adherence among nursing students with moderate to severe dysmenorrhea, compared to a control group of students. Half of the women involved will receive a yoga intervention for dysmenorrhea for 12 weeks, while the other half will continue with their conventional treatment during the same period. The results of the evaluations carried out prior, to the month, 3 months, 6 and 12 months of the intervention will be compared.
Dysmenorrhea is a series of pathological symptoms associated with menstruation that interfere with daily activities such as abdominal cramps and pain in the menstrual period. General symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, lumbago, diarrhea and headache are also common. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain that does not depend on the underlying pathology. The kidneys act on the fascia of the psoas muscle. If the psoas muscle does not shorten and grow sufficiently, the kidneys may not move for a certain period of time and may experience ptosis. This causes venous ponding and may cause varicocele in men and primary dysmenorrhea in women. Techniques to be applied directly to the fascia of the psoas muscle can reduce symptoms of dysmenorrhea in women. In the literature review, no studies investigating the effectiveness of a treatment applied directly and only on the psoas muscle on primary dysmenorrhea were not found. This study can set an example for future studies. In our study, myofascial relaxation technique will be applied in women with primary dysmenorrhoea and its effect on pain will be examined.
A single arm, open-label trial evaluating safety and tolerability of encapsulated Tabebuia avellanedae in 12 generally healthy women aged 18-45 with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). This will be the first study evaluating the safety and tolerability of Tabebuia avellanedae in PDM. We also aim to collect proof-of-concept mechanistic data supporting the hypothesis that Tabebuia avellanedae reduces PGE2 concentration in vivo in women with PDM.
this study was to compare the early and short-term effects of high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) versus connective tissue manipulation (CTM) in participants with primary dysmenorrhea. Half of the participants received CTM, while the other half received TENS.
The study was planned as 150 patients. Patients who met early-onset dysmenorrhea criteria and who met the inclusion criteria; 150 patients were divided into 2 equal groups, and NSAID during the menstrual cycle, nsai + turmeric 1 gr oral powder form treatment was planned to be started in the other group. The pain frequency and severity before and after treatment were evaluated by visual analog scale and the two groups were compared.
Integrative medicine raises public's attention due to either mainstream or traditional medicine has its limitation. The topic "dysmenorrhea", with prevalence up to 50%, troubled many females with symptom as depression, reduced the quality of life; and even withdraw from daily activity. Clinically, gynecologists apply analgesic such as Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, and oral contraceptive pills or progestin as conventional therapy. As NSAIDs cause gastrointestinal discomfort, while hormone therapy leads to other concerns; some women now adopt acupuncture as an alternative therapy for its safety. Furthermore, laser acupuncture has been practiced in recent years for it integrates the meridian theory and laser therapy; hence there are also some positive research in academic field.Whether laser or traditional acupuncture is more effective is still under debate. Additionally, investigators had published that the theory of yin/yang (meridian) is compatible with autonomic nerve theory. As many women with dysmenorrhea suffered from insomnia, anxiety, convulsion of the uterine muscle, which are related to autonomic nerve dysfunction, investigators are intrigued to know whether the effect of acupuncture is related to adjusting autonomic nerve system. Investigators intend to investigate the efficacy of laser and manual acupuncture in dysmenorrhea, and whether their mechanism is germane to hormone alternation or autonomic nervous system adjustment. The points in this proposal are 1.evaluate the efficacy of manual/laser acupuncture in dysmenorrhea in respects of symptoms and quality of life 2. compare whether these types acupuncture will alter the prostaglandin or hormone and the relationship between with the efficacy. 3. evaluate whether the mechanism of manual and laser acupuncture is relevant to alternating the autonomic nerve activity and if not correspond to Yin-Yang theory.
