简要总结
The objective of this clinical study is to investigate the effects of applying Kinesio Taping to female soccer players with PD and comparing this application with a placebo group.
详细描述
Women's football has grown in the last decade, but there is still a need to study how the menstrual cycle affects players' performance. Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD), a common menstrual pain, impacts between 50% and 90% of women, reducing their participation in sporting activities. Many players notice that their performance is affected during the cycle, and the use of anti-inflammatories is not always effective. Therefore, it is important to implement simple measures that improve the quality of life and performance of players. Alternatives such as physical therapy and Kinesio Taping (KT) can help alleviate symptoms. The literature shows that KT is a technique with the potential to produce tactile sensory impulses on the skin, which can block or reduce the arrival of painful sensations to the brain, and could therefore be interesting in the treatment of PD. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effects of applying Kinesio Taping to female soccer players with PD and comparing this application with a placebo group.

研究组 & 干预措施
Kinesio Taping group
KT will be applied by a physiotherapist with experience in the Kinesio Taping method by Kenzo Kase.
Three I-shaped Kinesio tapes will be used, 5 cm wide, covering the T-11 and T-12 dermatomes.
The first tape will be applied vertically between the navel and pubis, with the participant in an orthostatic position with slight trunk extension. The second tape, with the same length as the first, will be applied with its central region over the middle zone of the first, perpendicularly. The third tape will be applied horizontally to the lower back, covering the spines posterosuperior iliac muscles, with the participant in an orthostatic position, performing light trunk flexion.
干预措施: Kinesio Taping (Device)
placebo group
The quantity of tapes, type, size and region of application will be the same as the group KT, however, in this group the tapes will be applied without tension and with procedure different from that recommended, first starting to adhere a side anchor into the skin, followed by the center and then the other side anchor.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: At recruitment and at the end of the menstrual cycle of each of the four months of the study (each cycle is 28 days).
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS): to assess the intensity of menstrual pain. 10 cm VAS, which proved to be a valid and reliable tool for measuring experimental and clinical pain. The VAS is scored on a horizontal line of 10 points (0 = no pain and 10 = maximum pain). Participants must mark the intensity of menstrual pain on the horizontal line, considering the most painful days of the menstrual cycle.
次要结局
- Short McGill(At recruitment and at the end of the menstrual cycle of each of the four months of the study (each cycle is 28 days))
- Menstrual complaints questionnaire(At recruitment and at the end of the menstrual cycle of each of the four months of the study (each cycle is 28 days))
- Questionnaire on interference of Primary Dysmenorrhea in sports practice(At recruitment and at the end of the menstrual cycle of each of the four months of the study (each cycle is 28 days))
- Short form health survey 36 (sf-36)(At recruitment and at the end of the menstrual cycle of each of the four months of the study (each cycle is 28 days))
- Diary menstrual(Every day of the menstrual cycle throughout the four months of the study (each cycle is 28 days))
