Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Material and methods In this experimental study, women diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea will be included, which will be divided randomly into two groups: an intervention group and a comparator group.
The study will last nine weeks (3 menstrual cycles). Patients in the intervention group will receive 3 treatment sessions.
The evaluation will include pain, the quality of life, the global impression of change, personal body satisfaction and global self-perception and the pain perception.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Manual therapy increases the mobility of the sacrum and tissues of the pelvis, increasing the blood supply and the uterus that has parasympathetic innervation through the sacrum improves mobility, motility and irrigation.
The ligaments, fasciae and tissue of the pelvis improve their irrigation through fascial, mobility and visceral techniques, which would improve uterine mobility by anatomical connections with these structures. With better mobility the uterus, and therefore the smooth muscle, would have more irrigation and less pain and hypercontractivility.
The adjacent tissues, perineum, triangular ligament, innervated by the vagus nerve, improve
The main objective is the improvement of quality of life, personal body satisfaction and overall self-perception and pain reduction in women with dysmenorrhea after treatment with manual therapy and provide information and advice on self-care and menstrual awareness.
Methods
Sample. The sample is formed by women with dysmenorrhoea aged between 18 and 45 years, with no other abdominopelvic problems.
Design. The sample will be divided into 2 groups: Group 1. Manual therapy protocol and self-care advice and body awareness. Three sessions of manual therapy will be applied, (one at the beginning, another at 2 weeks and another at 3 weeks); Group 2 comparator. Advice on self-care and body awareness.
Evaluations:
* Clinical interview with anthropometric data and characteristics of the pathology (age, weight, height, pain characteristics) There will be 3 evaluations: Evaluation at the beginning, at the end of the treatment and a follow-up of one month.
* SF-36 quality of life scale.
* Visual Analog Scale (EVA).
* Feeling of change after treatment with the Patient Global Impression of Change Scale.
* Personal Body Satisfaction and Global Self-Perception.
* McGill pain perception questionnaire.
