简要总结
This study is a randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial designed to assess the effectiveness of a 90-day structured yogic intervention on dysmenorrhea among adolescent school-going girls aged 13–19 years. The trial was conducted at Government Girls Inter College (GGIC), Srinagar, Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India.
The initially calculated sample size was 82 participants, determined using G*Power analysis with a 20% anticipated dropout rate. However, due to limited parental consent, a total of 70 participants meeting the inclusion criteria (mild to severe dysmenorrhea; Verbal Multidimensional Scoring System [VMSS] score 1–3) were enrolled in the study. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups: Experimental group (n=35) and Control group (n=35).
The experimental group underwent daily 60-minute structured yogic sessions for 90 consecutive days, while the control group continues their routine activities without intervention.
The primary outcome measures include serum progesterone levels (assessed through venous blood sampling and analyzed at an authorized pathology laboratory) and severity of dysmenorrhea measured using the Verbal Multidimensional Scoring System (VMSS). Serum progesterone levels were evaluated at baseline and post-intervention, whereas VMSS scores are assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up.
Secondary outcome measures included depression (assessed using the Mental Depression Scale) and emotional maturity (assessed using the Emotional Maturity Scale), measured at baseline, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up.
The study aimed to evaluate yoga as a holistic, non-pharmacological intervention for managing both physiological and psychological symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea among adolescents.
