Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a common gynecological problem among adolescents and adult women. Treatment of PD includes various drugs and therapies such as kinesio taping (KT) and exercise. There are various studies that have individually explored the effects of KT and combined exercises. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare the effects of KT combined a combined exercise program and the effects of KT alone on pain and quality of life in females suffering from PD.

Detailed Description

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a common gynecological problem among adolescents and adult women. Treatment of PD includes various drugs and therapies such as kinesio taping (KT) and exercise. There are various studies that have individually explored the effects of KT and combined exercises. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare the effects of KT combined a combined exercise program and the effects of KT alone on pain and quality of life in females suffering from PD. The study will involve 45 women who experience dysmenorrhea. divided into three groups, group A, group B and Group C. Group A will receive the combined exercise program (The exercise protocol which included stretching exercises, yoga position, Kegel exercise, bridging exercise) for 45 minutes with 3 sessions per week for eight weeks. The Group A will receive KT intervention for two days per week from the estimated day of ovulation till the next period occurs, for eight weeks. The group B will receive KT that is used to treat the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea for 45 minutes with 2 sessions per week for eight weeks. The Group C will receive conventional therapy with 3 sessions per week to eight weeks. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Short form 36 Questionnaire (SF-36) and Menstrual symptom questionnaire (MSQ) will be used to assess the pain and quality of life at baseline and at the end of 8th week.Total duration of study will be six months. Physiotherapy can be a very successful treatment for PD with the benefit that the patient may occasionally be able to carry out the treatment independently. recommendations for manual therapy, acupressure, Kinesio tape, electrotherapy, and other forms of treatment. There have also been discussions about therapeutic activities or progressive relaxation techniques.

It is stated in literature that most effective exercise programs were stretching and isometric exercises for 8 weeks for pain intensity and duration, yoga for 12 weeks for pain intensity and quality of life, and aerobic exercises for 12 weeks for quality of life and KT for 12 weeks for pain and quality of life in PD. There are many various tapes available, each with a different type, substance, and application, according to the most recent research in 2021.
