简要总结
this study will be conducted to Investigate the relationship between primary dysmenorrhea and biomechanical characteristics of lumbo-pelvic region among female university students
详细描述
Dysmenorrhea is a highly prevalent menstrual health problem among female university students and represents a significant under recognized women's health issue. Cultural perceptions that normalize menstrual pain often result in underreporting, delayed healthcare seeking, and inadequate management among young women. This study is significant in addressing dysmenorrhea as a health condition that affects the physical, psychological, academic, and social well-being of female university students. From a physical health perspective, dysmenorrhea can lead to reduced mobility, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the lumbopelvic region. Psychologically, recurrent menstrual pain may contribute to increased stress, anxiety, emotional distress, and reduced concentration. In the demanding academic environment of universities, these factors can negatively influence academic performance and mental well-being. Socially and academically, dysmenorrhea is a leading cause of class absenteeism, decreased lecture attendance, and reduced participation in practical and clinical sessions among female students.

结局指标
主要结局
life disability
时间窗: up to one day
The WaLIDD score (Working ability, Location, Intensity, and Days of pain) is a clinical questionnaire used to evaluate the severity of dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and to predict the likelihood of a person needing medical leave. It evaluates the condition using four criteria, each scored from 0 to 3, yielding a total possible score ranging from 0 to 12 points.Low/Mild Score (0 to 4 points): Indicates no dysmenorrhea.Moderate Score (5 to 7 points): Indicates moderate dysmenorrhea.High Score (8 to 12 points): Indicates severe dysmenorrhea.
次要结局
- muscle dynamic stiffness(up to one day)
- pain intensity(up to one day)
- pelvic tilt angle(up to one day)
- muscle activity(up to one day)
- oscillatory frequency(up to one day)
- muscle elasticity(up to one day)
- mechanical stree relaxation time(up to one day)
- muscle viscoelastic property(up to one day)
