Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The health care costs were altogether higher among females with dysmenorrhea compared with females who didn't experience the ill effects of this condition, and excess costs were essentially determined by outpatient care, so poses greater burden of disease than any other gynecological complaint. Females having more pain catastrophizing scores leads to increases chances of disability. Proper evidence behind HIIT training among females with primary dysmenorrhea is sparse and is based on different clinical experiences and a less number of studies with limited methodological design.
