Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Primary Dysmenorrhea
• Interventions: Other: Functional Exercise; Other: High Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

• Registration Number: NCT05439096
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the impacts of utilitarian exercise versus high frequency anscutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on pain and sleep quality in students with primary dysmenorrhea.

Detailed Description

A Randomized Control Trial study will be directed at Riphah International University Faisalabad after synopsis approval. The Purposive examining method will be utilized to enlist the patients. Patients will be enrolled according to the pre-characterized criteria. Sample size for this examination is 40 females (18 yrs - 30 yrs) as per determination measures. The patients of one group will recieve exercise therapy and patients of other group will recieve high frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The patient's result will be assessed following a month of treatment . Informed consent will be taken from each patient. Data entry and analysis will be done with Statistical Package of Social Sciences version 20.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Functional Exercise	Functional Exercise	* 2 stretching exercises * 1 yoga exercises * 2 core strengthening exercises * 2 pelvic area exercises * Kegel exercises * Warm up for 5 minutes the apply perform exercise 3 times a week for 8 weeks and 45 minutes duration at a time
High Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation	High Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation	High frequency TENS by below mentioned parameters will be applied. * Pulse waveform = Biphasic waveform * Pulse recurrence = 50 to 120 Hz * Phase duration = 100 µsec * Current amplitudes = highest tolerable intensity with continuous adjustment * Skin arrangement = flawless skin region. * Type of electrodes = Self-adhesive * Size and location of electrodes = It will be adjusted specifically to each woman according to the typical area of her pain.

Primary Outcome Measures
