简要总结
Determine the effectiveness of kinesiotaping on pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
详细描述
Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as cramping pain in the lower abdomen occurring just before or during menstruation, in the absence of other diseases.
Dysmenorrhea is estimated to occur in 45% to 90% of women of reproductive age. It is a common cause of absenteeism and reduced quality of life in women.
Treatment for dysmenorrhoea aims to relieve pain or symptoms either by affecting the physiological mechanisms behind menstrual pain (such as prostaglandin production) or by relieving symptoms.
First line treatment for dysmenorrhoea is oral contraceptives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol or aspirin. However these present side effects and some women have contraindications to these treatments. Consequently, it´s necessary to study alternative treatments to drug treatments. Alternative treatments like heat, massage therapy, acupuncture also are used.
The Kinesiotaping uses an adhesive elastic cotton tape color invented by Dr. Kase in the 1970s. It is water resistant and retains its properties up to 5 days.

All participants will be instructed in an indvidual session and will receive a tutorial video to remember the kinesiotaping procedure. 3 band of a special and hypoallergenic tape (Kinematix Tex) will be attached to the abdominal (2 strips) and lower back (1 strip).
Patients will be taped for four days , ıt will start at the beginning of the menstruation.

They will note the treatment indicating the dosage in a calendar.
干预措施: Usual care (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in menstrual pain with Visual Analogic Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Participants will be followed for 2 menstrual cycles, an expected average of 3 months. Evaluations will be performed before, and just after 2 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after treatment
VAS is a method of representing subjects' pain on a 10 cm linear scale. In this study, a score of 0 means 'a very low degree of pain' and 10 means 'a very high degree of pain.'

- Patient satisfaction with Visual Analogic Scale (VAS)(Participants will be followed for 2 menstrual cycles. Evaluations will be performed at the end of each treatment, when menstrual pain disappears (4-5 days after the beginning of the menstrual bleeding).)
