简要总结
the aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of lumbar proprioception training on primary dysmenorrhea.
详细描述
Although previous studies reported the effect of physiotherapy practices through therapeutic exercises on primary dysmenorrhea as core muscles strengthening, core stability exercises, connective tissue massage and classical massage, relaxation, strengthening, stretching, aerobic exercises, pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises, yoga and Pilates. None of them have investigated the effect of lumbar proprioception training on primary dysmenorrhea. Therefore, this study will be the first one which aims to investigate the effect of lumbar proprioception training on primary dysmenorrhea. This trial will include 2 groups; group A composed of 20 females that will receive hot packs and pelvic rocking exercises for 4 weeks and group B also composed of 20 females that will receive hot packs and pelvic rocking exercises in addition to lumbar proprioception training for 4 weeks.
