简要总结
the objective of this study is to investigate the effect of practising Zumba exercise in decreasing menstrual pain in young women with primary dysmenorrhea.
详细描述
primary dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation without pelvic pathology is one of the most common complaints in women's medicine. The pain begins with the onset of menstrual bleeding and lasts for 72-12 h. Pain is usually in the middle line of the highest severity. Dysmenorrhea pain is often described as cramped and intermittent. Zumba is a dance-based fitness class that originated in Colombia in the 1990s and is now extremely popular worldwide. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of regular Zumba exercise on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea.

结局指标
主要结局
Intensity of pain
时间窗: duration of menses(5-7 days) 2nd menstrual cycle.
Pain intensity will be measured by using a 10-point visual analog scale(VAS) in which a line was calibrated from 0 to 10 with 0 representing ''no pain at all''and 10 representing ''worst pain possible.'' Participants will indicate their perceived pain levels by pointing to the appropriate value on a 10-cm horizontal ruler. The intensity of pain will be rated to the first decimal place in centimeters.Higher scores represent higher menstrual pain intensity.
次要结局
- menstrual pain duration(7 days from 1st day of menstruation).)
