简要总结
Dysmenorrhea is a common problem in women of reproductive age. Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as recurrent, cramping pain occurring with menses in the absence of identifiable pelvic pathology .
详细描述
Primary dysmenorrhea is characterized by a crampy supra-pubic pain that begins somewhere between several hours before and a few hours after the onset of the menstrual bleeding. Symptoms peak with maximum blood flow and usually last less than one day, but the pain may persist up to 2 to 3 days. Symptoms are more or less reproducible from one menstrual period to the other. The pain is characteristically colicky and located in the midline of the lower abdomen and may extend to lower quadrants, the lumbar area, and the thighs.
Menstrual low back pain (LBP) is one of the common complaints among women. Previous studies have indicated that more than 40% to 50% of the population experience LBP during the menstrual phase (days 1-6) of the menstrual cycle .

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: up to 2 months
The pain intensity will be assessed through visual analogue scale (VAS) for both groups before and after the end of treatment program. Each woman will be asked to mark a point on the line between the extremes that related to her pain intensity.
次要结局
- function(up to 2 months)
- muscle amplitude in the form of normalized root mean square (RMS)(up to 2 months)
