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
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 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.
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.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of kegel exercise on menstruation symptoms, severity of dysmenorrheic symptoms and quality of life in nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea. The study was conducted as a single-blind randomized controlled trial.
In this Phase III study, the herbal product Vitex agnus-castus BNO 1095 20 mg will be tested. The sponsor would like to find out if treatment with Vitex agnus-castus BNO 1095 20 mg may improve the cramping pain before or during menstruation (primary dysmenorrhea) (without an organic cause) in women and if this treatment is safe. It is tested, if the pelvic pain and other symptoms during menstruation improve in patients who are treated with Vitex agnus-castus BNO 1095 20 mg and if therefore the standard treatments for primary dysmenorrhea, for example pain relief medications will not have to be increased. The study has 2 treatment groups. Patients in one group will receive Vitex agnus-castus BNO 1095 20 mg, and patients in the other group will receive a placebo. Placebo tablets look like Vitex agnus-castus BNO 1095 20 mg tablets but have no active ingredient. Patients will be randomly assigned (like tossing a coin) to one of the 2 groups (this process is called randomization). The chance for the patients to receive Vitex agnus-castus BNO 1095 is 50%. Neither the patients nor the investigators know which product the patients are taking (this method is known as "double-blind").
Evaluation of sacroiliac joint dysfunction in young women with primary dysmenorrhoea using joint provocation and mobility tests and spinal mobility using Spinal Mouse and investigation of the relationship between primary dysmenorrhoea, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and spinal mobility.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of radiofrequency on pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea. The data collected will be: Intensity of pain with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), pressure pain at three points of referred pain from the gynecological system, need or not to take medication, general quality of life with the SF-12 (short form 12) and quality of life in relation to menstruation with the CVM-22. They will be collected at the start of treatment, after the first post-intervention menstruation and after the second post-intervention menstruation. This study is a randomized clinical trial with two intervention groups and a control group, whose study population is women with primary dysmenorrhea. The sample size has been calculated with the G* Power 1.9.7 software using repeated measures ANOVA, assuming a two-sided significance level (α=0.05) and 90% power (β=0.10) and 10% losses. A sample of 45 participants (n) was determined to detect a significant change of 1.5 points in the variable measured with the NRS. Forty-five participants were included in this study. In the two intervention groups, radiofrequency will be applied (20 minute sessions for 3 weeks with a frequency of 3 times/week), transabdominal in one group and intravaginal in the other. Participants must be women between 18 and 35 years old, with regular menstrual cycles (22-38 days according to FIGO), be nulliparous and also not present any of the exclusion criteria detailed in the study. The data obtained will be analyzed and compared between the different groups in order to draw conclusions.
The aim of the study is to investigate the difference in the severity of primary dysmenorrhea between athletic and non-athletic females.
