Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Rhythmical massage
Participants who receive rhythmical massage for three months.
Rhythmical massage
Rhythmical Massage according to Dr Ita Wegman, derived from Swedish Massage in the 1920s. Applied for various indications in the context of Anthroposophic Medicine, aiming at a recovery of self-regulation and self-healing forces.
HRV biofeedback
Participants who perform HRV biofeedback for three months.
HRV biofeedback
One of various biofeedback types, HRV biofeedback gives a visual feedback of the participant's heart rate variability as an indicator for general health, physical and cognitive performance, self-regulation and a decreased risk of illness.
Control group
Participants who do not receive an intervention during the three-month intervention period but are advised to stay with their usual care during menstrual pain. For ethical and compliance reasons, these participants receive a series of rhythmical massage treatments after the initial three-month intervention/control period.
