Filter by:Based on the pain threshold and visual simulation score, primary dysmenorrhea patients will be divided into treatment effective group or non-effective group.According to the functional magnetic resonance imaging, the investigators investigate whether there is characteristic or secondary brain features before and after rTMS intervention.
To determine the effectiveness of kinesiotaping on pain in primary dysmenorrhea
There are limited treatment options for management of dysmenorrhea, and the physiological processes they affect are not completely understood. For example, NSAIDs are effective in reducing menstrual pain in some women by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, but whether those effects are mediated by affecting contractility, perfusion, or hypoxemia is unknown. Understanding how these drugs relieve menstrual pain (and why they fail) would be of substantial clinical significance. Given the foregoing, Two Specific Aims are proposed: Aim #1: Characterize menstrual pain phenotypes associated with impairments in myometrial activity, perfusion, and/or oxygenation. Continuous MRI scans of the uterus will be performed with simultaneous measurement of self-reported pain in healthy women and those experiencing menstrual pain. The investigators will include cohorts of women with imaging diagnosed leiomyoma and surgically-confirmed endometriosis to evaluate the contribution of structurally identifiable factors. Based on preliminary data, the investigators anticipate finding four phenotypes with menstrual pain related to: 1) myometrial activity, 2) inadequate perfusion and/or oxygenation, 3) a combination of phenotypes 1 & 2, and 4) a non-uterine source. Aim #2: Evaluate the effects of naproxen on myometrial activity, perfusion, and/or oxygenation with respect to pain relief. In women with primary dysmenorrhea, the investigators will acquire pelvic MRI scans and evaluate self-reported menstrual cramping pain before and after administration of randomized naproxen or placebo. Naproxen could principally affect one or more potential sources of uterine pain such as myometrial activity, perfusion, and/or oxygenation. The investigators will corroborate preliminary data findings, which suggest menstrual phenotypes with myometrial activity will be more likely to respond. Conversely, Aim 2 will also elucidate the mechanisms responsible for inadequate pain relief from naproxen. Bioavailability of naproxen levels and other molecules associated with NSAID-resistance will be evaluated from the serum of participants after taking naproxen using HPLC-MS.
This study will describe historic, current, and evolving treatment pathways, treatments, and interventions in women with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis in order to better understand the impact of early intervention on the disease or its symptoms. Length of treatment is dependent on standard of care treatment provided and all study information will be collected during routine standard of care visits.
This study compares the effect of probiotics versus placebo in women with primary dysmenorrhoea
Sublingual Tablets With Cannabinoid Combinations for the Treatment of Dysmenorrhea
This study evaluates the relation between sens of coherence and primary dysmenorrhea. Aself-questionnaire is completed by a sample of girls aged between 14 and 19, schooled in Finistère (France).
The effect of warm-water footbath in improving primary dysmenorrhea (PD) was rarely investigated previously. We aimed to exam the hypothesis that warm-water footbath is effective to reduce the pain of PD, and the effect is associated with changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. The quasi-experimental study was carried out enrolling 68 college students) with PD. The enrolled participants were randomized into two groups and received interventions (footbath (n=35) versus sitting only (n=33)) for 20 minutes per day on their menstruation days 1 and 2. After the interventions, we analyzed the association among intervention (with footbath versus without footbath), heart rate variability (HRV) changes and changes of pain scales (Pain Visual Analog Scale and short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire).
Dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation is a common symptom of menses. Dysmenorrhea is defined as a painful, cramping sensation in the lower abdomen or back associated with menstrual periods and is classified into primary and secondary types. Primary dysmenorrhea is painful menstrual periods not due to other diseases, and often occurs soon after menarche. Secondary dysmenorrhea is due to an underlying pelvic abnormality, such as endometriosis. Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological complaint. In many studies, the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea varies between 34 % in 2010 in Egypt, 86.6% in 2002 in Switzerland, and 21% in 1999 in France. Nowadays, physiopathology is better understood, which suggests that the investigators have treatments Although dysmenorrhea is a common concern, many women never seek medical advice, even though treatments are easily available and simple. In fact, despite the high prevalence, dysmenorrhea is undertreated and even disregarded by health professionals, and the girls themselves, who may accept it as a normal part of the menstrual cycle. The pain occurs just before and/or during menstruation ; it can be mild to severe and is frequently associated with many other symptoms, like nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, tiredness and has many consequences in wellbeing and school. Dysmenorrhea is known to be the first cause of absenteism from school, and appears to have many consequences and a real impact on women's daily activities, which is why it's a public health problem. Because of the lack of recent studies in France, the aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of adolescent dysmenorrhea. The investigators also assessed its severity, how adolescent girls experienced their menses, and how they manage their pain (seeking medical consultation, use of medication). The investigators used a self-assessment questionnaire in a cohort of high school girls, aged 15 to 19 years old, during April and May of 2019, in 8 private and public high schools in Ille-et-Vilaine.
The trial aims to evaluate the effect of manual acupuncture versus transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in treating primary dysmenorrhea.
