Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and spinal stabilization exercises in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD) complaints.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Women with primary dysmenorrhea complaint according to the Primary Dysmenorrhea Consensus Guide, Over 18 years of age, Having a mean pain intensity of moderate and higher according to the Visual Analogue Scale in the last 6 months, Having a regular menstrual cycle (28±7 days), Volunteered to participate in the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Menstrual pain intensity
Time Frame: change from baseline at 8 weeks
Menstrual pain intensity will be evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale. This scale consists of a 10 cm horizontal line. The starting point "0" = "no pain", while "10" = "unbearable pain". Individuals will be asked to mark on a 10 cm straight line according to the level of pain they feel. Pain intensity will be recorded by measuring the distance between the beginning of the line and the marked place.
Secondary Outcomes
- Impacts of life quality(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Pelvic tilt(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Functional capacity(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Menstrual symptoms(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Impacts of academic/work performance(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Trunk muscle endurances(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Functional and emotional effects(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Sleep quality(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Posture(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Subjective perception of improvement(After exercise program (at 8 week))
