Brief Summary

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

Primary dysmenorrhea is a cramping pain in the lower abdomen occurring just before or during menstruation without pelvic pathology. Primary dysmenorrhea is not a life-threatening condition and does not cause organ failure. However, it can affect the quality of life of women and cause inability to carry out daily functioning consequently, absence from school or workplace. Exercise is one of the non-conservative methods to reduce the severity of primary dysmenorrhea. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic and Aviva exercises on primary dysmenorrhea. This study emphasizes the importance of aerobic exercises and Aviva exercise to reduce the severity of primary Dysmenorrhea. This will help in patients over all recovery and will improve general well-being.

This will be a Randomized clinical trial conducted on 42 participants. The data will be collected from Sharif Medical Complex and Kasrat Gym Lake City by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Patients with primary dysmenorrhea diagnosed with Walid score questionnaire of age 20-40 will be included. A sample will be divided into two groups, each group will have 21 participants. The group A will be given Aerobic exercise and Group B will be given Aviva exercises. Participants will be assessed using the Mc Gill pain questionnaire for pain, women health initiative insomnia rating scale will be used for sleep, and brief pain inventory short form for daily functioning and Quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction questionnaire short form for quality of life. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 26.0.

Study Groups

Aerobic Exercises

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group A aerobic exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Group A will perform the aerobic exercises (such as bicycling, treadmill and running) Aerobic exercises 15min/session for each exercise, 2 times/week. Frequency: 2 times /week Intensity: Easy to moderate about 60 to 75% of maximum heart rate Type: treadmill, bicycling, running Time: 45min/session

Bicycling:

15

\- Start with gentle, low-intensity cycling and gradually increase as comfort allows - Aim for regular, consistent cycling sessions (e.g., 2-3 times a week,15min/session) - Consider incorporating other exercises, like stretching or yoga, to complement cycling.

Running

To get started with running for dysmenorrhea:

1. Start with short distances and gradually increase as comfort allows
2. Aim for regular, consistent running sessions (e.g., 2-3 times a week,15 minute/session)
3. Consider incorporating other exercises, like stretching or yoga, to complement running.

Aviva Exercises

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Group B Aviva exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Group B will perform the Aviva exercises in 18 different movements. Aviva exercise intervention method is based on a carefully structured, mild-to-moderate intensity series of 18 movement sequences and aerobic exercises 30min/session, 2 times/week (20)

Aviva Methods of exercises:

These exercises are a carefully structured, intense, and methodical series of movement sequences, including a 5 min warm-up exercise at the beginning and 5 min cooling-down exercises at the end of the session. These exercises are performed in Standing, Sitting, Supine lying, prone lying
