Study of Pain and Physical Fitness in Women Aged 18 to 25 with Primary Dysmenorrhea

What this Trial Is About

Primary dysmenorrhea is a condition causing cramp-like pain in the lower abdomen before or during menstruation, affecting daily life and work activities. This research investigates pain and physical fitness factors, including balance, muscle strength, and core stability, in women with primary dysmenorrhea compared to those without significant menstrual pain. The study focuses on how these factors differ during menstruation and on non-menstrual days. The study involves two groups women with primary dysmenorrhea who experience moderate to severe pain and women without painful cramps or with mild pain during menstruation. Researchers will assess parameters related to pain, balance, muscle strength, and core stability over two weeks. Additional outcomes include flexibility, menstrual symptoms, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Participants will undergo evaluations during their menstrual cycle and on a non-menstrual day. Assessments include pain measurement, core stability tests, and muscle strength and balance evaluations. The study aims to understand the impact of primary dysmenorrhea on physical fitness and psychological symptoms. Participation is expected to last about two weeks with monitoring of various physical and emotional health measures.
