PainDysmenorrhea Primary1 moreIn this study, it is planned to determine the effect of acupressure applied to adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea on pain, menstrual symptoms and general comfort. The research questions of the research are as follows; Research Questions Is there a difference in pain scores in the post-acupressure intervention group and the placebo group? Is there a difference between menstrual symptoms scores in the post-acupressure intervention group and the placebo group? Is there a difference between comfort scores in the intervention group and the placebo group after acupressure? Is there a difference between the pain scores of the intervention group according to time? Is there a difference between the menstrual symptoms scores of the intervention group according to time? Is there a difference between the comfort scores of the intervention group according to time? Is there a difference between the pain scores of the placebo group over time? Is there a difference between the menstrual symptoms scores of the placebo group over time? Is there a difference between the comfort scores of the placebo group over time?

Mechanistic Characterization of Uterine Pain
Dysmenorrhea (Disorder)Dysmenorrhea Primary4 moreThere are limited treatment options for management of dysmenorrhea, and the physiological processes they affect are not completely understood. For example, NSAIDs are effective in reducing menstrual pain in some women by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, but whether those effects are mediated by affecting contractility, perfusion, or hypoxemia is unknown. Understanding how these drugs relieve menstrual pain (and why they fail) would be of substantial clinical significance. Given the foregoing, Two Specific Aims are proposed: Aim #1: Characterize menstrual pain phenotypes associated with impairments in myometrial activity, perfusion, and/or oxygenation. Continuous MRI scans of the uterus will be performed with simultaneous measurement of self-reported pain in healthy women and those experiencing menstrual pain. The investigators will include cohorts of women with imaging diagnosed leiomyoma and surgically-confirmed endometriosis to evaluate the contribution of structurally identifiable factors. Based on preliminary data, the investigators anticipate finding four phenotypes with menstrual pain related to: 1) myometrial activity, 2) inadequate perfusion and/or oxygenation, 3) a combination of phenotypes 1 & 2, and 4) a non-uterine source. Aim #2: Evaluate the effects of naproxen on myometrial activity, perfusion, and/or oxygenation with respect to pain relief. In women with primary dysmenorrhea, the investigators will acquire pelvic MRI scans and evaluate self-reported menstrual cramping pain before and after administration of randomized naproxen or placebo. Naproxen could principally affect one or more potential sources of uterine pain such as myometrial activity, perfusion, and/or oxygenation. The investigators will corroborate preliminary data findings, which suggest menstrual phenotypes with myometrial activity will be more likely to respond. Conversely, Aim 2 will also elucidate the mechanisms responsible for inadequate pain relief from naproxen. Bioavailability of naproxen levels and other molecules associated with NSAID-resistance will be evaluated from the serum of participants after taking naproxen using HPLC-MS.
The Effects of Sacroiliac Joint Manual Therapy on Autonomic Nervous System and Lower Abdominal Pain...
Primary DysmenorrheaDisorders of the autonomic nervous system are considered another possible cause of dysmenorrhea. spinal manual threapty is acting on the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. The sacrum affects all vertebrae, which affects the position of this bone, is thought to have a lot to do with dysmenorrhea. In this study, by applying spinal manual threapty threapty to the sacroiliac joint in women in their 20s with primary dysmenorrhea, we tried to present an effective treatment method by evaluating the function of the autonomic nervous system and confirming the occurrence of pain in the lower abdomen.
Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation as Treatment for Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea PrimaryThe goal of this study is to verify whether transcutaneous stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve improves pain, quality of life and sleep deficiency in patients with pain related to their menstrual period in the short and medium-long term. The hypothesis of the study states that by applying that method to the patients, a decrease or disappearance of pain in menstruation should happen, as well as an improvement in quality of life and sleep deficiency. The study will consist of: An interview, lasting 30 minutes, in which the characteristics of the study will be explained. In case of wishing to participate, it will be required to sign the informed consent document and to fill out the medical history sheet. An evaluation phase: in which it will be necessary to fill out a number of questionnaires during two consecutive menstrual periods. An intervention phase: consisting of 12 30-minute treatment sessions, once a week. The patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. In both groups, a current will be applied to different locations on the legs. The technique will be performed through four/two electrodes leg attached to the skin. This stimulation will not be painful at any time nor will it have harmful effects on the patients health. In this phase, the individual should continue filling out the questionnaires provided in each period. On the last day of treatment, a scale of satisfaction with the treatment will be retrieved. A re-evaluation phase: in which the individual shall fill out a number of questionnaires a month, 3 and 6 months after finishing the treatment.
The Effects of Muscle Energy Techniques on Pain and Quality of Life in Young Females With Primary...
Primary DysmenorrheaThis study will be a quasi experimental study in which females aged 18 - 30 years with primary dysmenorrhea will be recruited in single group. They will be given a total of 3 sessions of treatment during a period of one menstrual cycle (One Week). Before and after the introduction of intervention pain and quality of life of participants will be assessed.
A Study of Diclofenac Gel in Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea PrimaryThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare 1% and 3% diclofenac gel (DARE-PDM1) to placebo in women with symptomatic primary dysmenorrhea. The main question it aims to answer are: Is DARE-PDM1 1%, 3% diclofenac gel systemically safe? What are the systemic levels of DARE-PDM1 1%, 3% diclofenac gel in plasma and vaginal fluid following 1 dose and 3 doses. Participants will be seen for routine safety evaluations and complete a daily diary recording dysmenorrhea associated pain.
An Investigation Into the Efficacy of a Botanical Supplement to Provide Period Relief
Menstrual PainPremenstrual SyndromeWomen often experience significant pain during their periods which can significantly impact on quality of life. In this study, two products that are used to alleviate period pain will be examined. One test product is botanically based, and the other is a traditional over-the-counter pain reliever with additional components added to support less painful periods. The trial will be a cross-over trial where participants will use the botanical product before, during, and after their first period. Participants will use the botanical product alongside a traditional over-the-counter period product during their second period. Participants will answer surveys and have blood drawn at a third-party lab to answer the main objectives of this trial.
