The Effects of Sacroiliac Joint Manual Therapy on Autonomic Nervous System and Lower Abdominal Pain in Women in Their 20s With Primary Dysmenorrhea
- Conditions
- Primary Dysmenorrhea
- Interventions
- Behavioral: spine manual therapyDevice: Superficial heat therapy
- Registration Number
- NCT05752864
- Lead Sponsor
- Sahmyook University
- Brief Summary
Disorders of the autonomic nervous system are considered another possible cause of dysmenorrhea. spinal manual threapty is acting on the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves.
The sacrum affects all vertebrae, which affects the position of this bone, is thought to have a lot to do with dysmenorrhea.
In this study, by applying spinal manual threapty threapty to the sacroiliac joint in women in their 20s with primary dysmenorrhea, we tried to present an effective treatment method by evaluating the function of the autonomic nervous system and confirming the occurrence of pain in the lower abdomen.

Group Intervention Description spine manual therapy of sacroiliac joint spine manual therapy The group which treats spine manual therapy of sacroiliac joint Superficial heat therapy Superficial heat therapy Group treated with superficial heat therapy for 20 minutes
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Heart Rate Variability Change from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks, follow-up at 4 weeks Autonomic nervous system balance tester (SA3000new, Medicore Co. Korea) was used. The subjects placed electrodes on three areas (left arm, left leg, right leg) while lying down and performed for 3 minutes.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Menstrual distress questionnaire Change from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks, follow-up at 4 weeks The Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) is a standard method for measuring cyclical menstrual cycle symptoms. The MDQ can differentiate between cyclical and non-cyclical changes in somatic symptoms, mood and behavior, and arousal.
-The measured scores range from 0 to 185; higher scores indicate severe dysmenorrhea symptoms.Pressure pain threshold Change from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks, follow-up at 4 weeks The test determines the amount of pressure over a given area in which a steadily increasing nonpainful pressure stimulus turns into a painful pressure sensation. With the participant seated comfortably, the examiner identified the sacroiliac joint and applied pressure with the algometer perpendicular to the skin surface until the participant made an "Ah" sound.
* Lower pressure pain thresholds indicate higher sensitivity to pressure and a lower pain tolerance.
* Higher pressure pain thresholds suggest lower sensitivity and a higher pain tolerance.Visual analog scale Change from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks, follow-up at 4 weeks On a line consisting of 10 cm, 0 at either end represents 'no pain' and 10 represents 'worst pain'.
