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 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 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").
The purpose of this [study type: a single-blind, placebo-controlled randomization study] was to determine the effect of kinesio taping on pain, stress, sleep, and quality of life in college students with primary dysmenorrhea. The key question(s) it aims to answer are: • [Is there a difference between pain, stress, sleep quality and quality of life scores in the post-kinesio taping intervention group and the placebo group?] Participants [both groups will come to the laboratory to replace their kinesio bands on the specified dates] If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the placebo group.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of biomedical pain education and pain neuroscience education, in addition to routine exercise training, on menstrual pain parameters (pain severity and duration, analgesic use), menstrual stress, somatosensory function, pain catastrophizing, pain beliefs, anxiety/depressive symptom level and quality of life in healthy individuals with primary dysmenorrhea.The design of the study is parallel group, randomized study. Individuals will be randomly assigned to one of the pain neuroscience education or biomedical pain education research arms. In the literature, there is no study comparing the effects of pain neuroscience education and biomedical pain education in primary dysmenorrhea, which is a problem that affects women's lives significantly. It is important to reveal the effects of different pain trainings for effective pain management in primary dysmenorrhea.
A randomize control study will be conducted, in which data will be collected from young girls having primary dysmenorrhea with the calculated sample size of 17 in each group, questionnaire will be provided to collect the data and then according to sample size number the participants will be randomly assign to the group A and B. group A will perform stretching exercises for eight weeks and group B will perform core stabilizing exercises for 8 weeks, pre and post readings before starting exercises and after eight weeks will be taken. Four different types of tools will be used, for primary dysmenorrhea WALIDD scale will be used, to measure the pain intensity, frequency, duration and severity the PFSD scale will be used and for measuring the strength the side bridge test will be used and to check the effects of primary dysmenorrhea on quality of life, McGill quality of life questionnaire will be used. This study will provide the information that which exercises i-e stretching or strengthening are more effective in reducing the intensity, frequency, duration and severity of pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
To compare the effects of Functional and Core stability exercises on pain and sleep quality in Patients with Primary Dysmenorrhea and to check the results of exercises may be effective in pain during Menstrual and before cramping in menses.
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.
