Effectiveness of Kinesiotaping in Primary Dysmenorrhea

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Determine the effectiveness of kinesiotaping on pain in primary dysmenorrhea.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as cramping pain in the lower abdomen occurring just before or during menstruation, in the absence of other diseases.

Dysmenorrhea is estimated to occur in 45% to 90% of women of reproductive age. It is a common cause of absenteeism and reduced quality of life in women.

Treatment for dysmenorrhoea aims to relieve pain or symptoms either by affecting the physiological mechanisms behind menstrual pain (such as prostaglandin production) or by relieving symptoms.

First line treatment for dysmenorrhoea is oral contraceptives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol or aspirin. However these present side effects and some women have contraindications to these treatments. Consequently, it´s necessary to study alternative treatments to drug treatments. Alternative treatments like heat, massage therapy, acupuncture also are used.

The Kinesiotaping uses an adhesive elastic cotton tape color invented by Dr. Kase in the 1970s. It is water resistant and retains its properties up to 5 days.

It has the characteristic to cause elevation of the epidermis and thereby reduce the pressure on the mechanoreceptors below the dermis. This would have the effect of reducing nociceptive stimuli. ;
