Detailed Description

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

The study was planned as a randomized controlled study. The study will be conducted at the Fizyorapt physiotherapy and exercise consultancy center. It will be divided into 2 main groups as those between the ages of 18-50, those with a menstrual period of 3-9 days, those with menstrual pain complaints, and those who cooperate in completing the assessment scales. Participants will be asked to continue the given exercises for 6 weeks, 2 days a week and 45 minutes. People with psychological and physical disabilities will not be included in regular exercise. A personal information form will be prepared by the researcher in order to collect data on the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to measure pain intensity and pain relief, Beck depression scale to determine depression symptoms, and menstruation symptom scale to evaluate menstrual pain and symptoms. These surveys will be repeated before and at the end of the study. The data to be obtained will be evaluated using the SPSS24 package program.
