Filter by: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.
To determine the effectiveness of kinesiotaping on pain in primary dysmenorrhea
This study compares the effect of probiotics versus placebo in women with primary dysmenorrhoea
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).
Brief Summary: The aim of the present study is to investigate the efficacy of connective tissue massage in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. The present study is designed as a randomized placebo controlled study. Patients with primary dysmenorrhea and who agreed to participate in the study will be randomly divided into three groups. Connective tissue massage will be applied to the patients in the intervention group. Placebo ultrasound treatment will be applied to the patients in the placebo group. No application will be applied to the patients in the control group. As the research design includes the placebo group and the control group, it will be determined that if significant differences between the intervention and placebo groups are observed, this treatment effect is not related to a placebo effect or is not due to the natural course of the disease. If significant differences are found, the efficacy of the connective tissue manipulation in primary dysmenorrhea will be revealed and connective tissue manipulation may be an alternative approach to pharmacological approaches and other commonly used applications. This may reduce the need for pharmacological agents and reduce or eliminate the side effects associated with these agents. According to the literature, there are studies that investigate short-term effects of connective tissue massage on symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea and quality of life. However, there is no long-term follow-up randomized placebo-controlled study investigating the effect of connective tissue massage on menstrual pain and symptoms.
The study will planing to determine the advantages of abdominal massage and exercise on primary dysmenorrhea in university students, and to evaluate whether one of these applications is superior to the other.
A study to explore whether rhythmical massage and heart rate variability biofeedback can help to reduce pain in women suffering from menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea).
Primary Dysmenorrhea (PDM), defined as menstrual pain without discernable organic causes, is inexorably common in adolescent women, about 40-90% of women may suffer from it, and 20% of them can be severe in the context of being refractory to medication, daily function impairment, and having pain of severe degree. Novel therapeutic method is in need for pain alleviation for this particular phenotype. It has been reported that PDM females may engage motor-cortex based descending pain modulation system in our resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) and thermal pain-activation fMRI studies. Based on the reported analgesic efficacy of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on the motor cortex for various experimental painful conditions and clinical pain disorders, it is plausible that tDCS can be effective for the severe and medication-refractory PDM patients. This study aim to investigate the analgesic efficacy of tDCS in severe PDMs and to elucidate the dynamic brain neuroplasticity in the context of experimental pain after tDCS intervention. Thirty severe PDMs will be recruited and randomly allocated to either real or sham group in a triple-blind manner. Experimental pain electrical stimulation will be performed before and after the tDCS intervention. The experimental pain-evoked magnetoencephamographic (MEG) data will be correlated with behavioral and psychological measurements. This is the first study in the literature investigating the tDCS efficacy for acute pain in severe PDM. The result can promise a new possibility for clinical application.
