Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Subjects in Group A shall be treated with kinesiotaping and pelvic tilts while subjects in Group B shall be treated with kinesiotaping only. Each subject will receive 02 treatment sessions during the second \& third menstrual cycles. Post-intervention responses shall be recorded in the fourth menstrual cycle using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, WaLLID tool \& Menstrual Distress Questionnaire.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A: Kinesiotaping with pelvic tilts
Kinesiotape will be applied to patients. In addition, patients will be instructed to perform pelvic tilts.
Kinesiotape
Patients will be instructed to inhale while taping the application. The tape will be applied in a vertical direction from just below the navel to the pubic region, another tape will be applied over the initial tape in the horizontal direction with minimal stretch. Another tape will be applied over the lumbosacral region making a V shape. The arms of V shall lie over the lumbar region while the base shall rest over the caudal region. Taping will be maintained for at least 48 hours.
The interventions shall be applied for two consecutive menstrual cycles.
Pelvic Tilts
Patients will be asked to lie in a supine position with legs bent and toes facing forward. Afterward, they will be instructed to pull their belly inwards while pushing pelvis towards the ceiling and keep hip muscles tightened. This position will be maintained for 5 seconds with 3 sets of 20 repetitions. Pelvic tilts must be performed throughout the menstrual cycle.
Group B: Kinesiotaping without pelvic tilts
Kinesiotape will be applied to patients.
Kinesiotape
Patients will be instructed to inhale while taping the application. The tape will be applied in a vertical direction from just below the navel to the pubic region, another tape will be applied over the initial tape in the horizontal direction with minimal stretch. Another tape will be applied over the lumbosacral region making a V shape. The arms of V shall lie over the lumbar region while the base shall rest over the caudal region. Taping will be maintained for at least 48 hours.
The interventions shall be applied for two consecutive menstrual cycles.
