Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of breathing exercises in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is the most common gynecological disorder and constitutes a serious health and economic problem. PD is defined as painful menstrual cramps in the lower abdomen during or a few days before the menstrual period with no detectable organic disease. Breathing exercises are an effective method for pain relief. However, breathing exercises need to be examined in PD management.
