Phase N/A

Powered by AI

Overview

The rationale of this study is despite the widespread belief that exercise can reduce dysmenorrhea, evidence-based studies are limited. Studies are therefore required to evaluate the association between quality of life and the primary dysmenorrheal females, the functional impact on the quality of life and primary dysmenorrhea females also it's a crucial time for females to focus on their studies and dysmenorrhea can add to the fatigue levels and cause distress in this age group thus the purpose of this study is to determine whether myokinetic active release of trigger points in the rectus abdominis, gluteus medius and quadratus lumborum is a more effective way to reduce dysmenorrhea than kegel exercises

Description

Existing research may concentrate on specific interventions or populations, leaving a void in our knowledge of the possible synergistic effects of various exercises when done both alone and in combination, Studies have provided that dysmenorrhea is treated with pelvic floor strengthening however, there is little evidence that myokinetic involvement can lead to progressive outcomes. Given the interdependence of physiology, anatomy and dysfunction. Myokinetic trigger point release may be helpful in promoting the recovery of primary dysmenorrhea.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
