简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of breathing exercises in women with primary dysmenorrhea.
详细描述
Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is the most common gynecological disorder and constitutes a serious health and economic problem. PD is defined as painful menstrual cramps in the lower abdomen during or a few days before the menstrual period with no detectable organic disease. Breathing exercises are an effective method for pain relief. However, breathing exercises need to be examined in PD management.
