简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate pain and physical fitness parameters such as balance, muscle strength, and core stabilization in primary dysmenorrhea.
详细描述
Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a condition that occurs just before or during menstruation and is accompanied by cramp-like pain in the lower abdomen, without any pelvic pathology. Pain usually begins just before or during menstruation and ends within 12-72 hours. Most women with PD describe their menstrual pain as moderate to severe, which significantly affects their activities of daily living and school and work performance.
In PD, functions and activities of daily living are also affected due to pain and other hormonal changes. Studies have reported that musculoskeletal problems such as decreased spinal mobility, pelvic stability and postural control are observed in women with dysmenorrhea.
The aim of this study is to evaluate pain and physical fitness parameters such as balance, muscle strength, and core stabilization during the menstruation and on a non-menstrual day of the cycle, in primary dysmenorrhea.

结局指标
主要结局
Core stability
时间窗: 2 weeks
A pressurized biofeedback device will be used to evaluate core stability. The device will initially be set to 70 mmHg pressure and changes in pressure will be recorded for analysis at the end of the evaluation.
Pain assessment
时间窗: 2 weeks
Pain assessment will be evaluated with a visual analog scale. Subjects will be asked to mark the intensity of the pain they feel on a 10 cm line, where "0" means no pain and "10" means very severe pain.
Balance
时间窗: 2 weeks
Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. USA) will be used in the dynamic postural stability test and sensory integration of balance clinical test evaluations.
Lower extremity muscle strength
时间窗: 2 weeks
A 30-second sit to stand test will be used to evaluate the individual's lower extremity muscle strength and functional capacity. The number of repetitions performed in 30 seconds is recorded.
次要结局
- Menstrual symptoms(2 weeks)
- Lower extremity flexibility(2 weeks)
- Depression, anxiety and stress symptoms(2 weeks)
