Active clinical trials for "Dysmenorrhea"

This is a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate orally-dosed Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) compared to placebo on menstrual pain in otherwise healthy participants 18 years and over.

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and spinal stabilization exercises in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD) complaints.

This study will be a randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in F G modal for girls' I/8-4, Federal Government College for Women and Islamabad Model College for Girls. A sample size of 138 patients will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups by lottery method. Group A will receive Educational sessions and informational pamphlet while Group B will only receive the pamphlets. Experimental group will receive for 4 sessions (2 per week). The outcome measures Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ), Dysmenorrhoeic Knowledge Scale (DKS) and Dysmenorrhoeic Self-Care behavior Scale (DSCBS) will be measured at baseline, and at the end of week 2 and after 3 months. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 21.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of relaxation training on menstrual pain severity, menstrual symptoms, impact of quality of life, impact of work/academic performance, impact of social activity level and anxiety level in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD) complaints.

Primary dysmenorrhea is common and can result in significant disability for many women, causing a high degree of discomfort and reduced quality of life (QoL). Our preliminary studies suggested that high-intensity aerobic training (HIAT) for 30 minutes, three times a week at 70%-85% of maximum heart rate was effective for decreasing pain and improving QoL in women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea. However, to date, no studies have evaluated the beneficial effects of HIAT on academic performance and absenteeism or the cost-effectiveness of HIAT for women with primary dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying aerobic exercise-induced analgesia in primary dysmenorrhea remain unclear. Here, we propose a study to address this important knowledge gap by investigating the effects of HIAT on absenteeism and academic performance among university students with primary dysmenorrhea and examine the physiological mechanisms underlying aerobic exercise-induced analgesia by conducting a fully powered, randomised, controlled crossover trial. We also propose to conduct an economic evaluation to determine the cost-effectiveness of HIAT compared with a wait-listed control group receiving usual care, according to the societal and healthcare perspectives of Hong Kong. The results of this cutting-edge research will be important for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and women with primary dysmenorrhea. The knowledge gained from the proposed study will be useful for researchers when designing future studies to identify the mediators of pain interventions for clinical improvements, which could themselves be the target of future interventions. The findings of the proposed study will inform decision-makers regarding the extent to which existing or standard and potential interventions can improve population health (effectiveness) and the resources required to implement these interventions (costs).

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease. It is a gynecological disease caused by the growth and reproduction of the endometrium beyond the surface of the uterine tissue and organs, which causes recurrent abdominal pain, infertility and other main symptoms. The recurrence of endometriosis and the side effects of medication have troubled clinicians and patients for a long time and the search for new drugs is going on all the time. Honghuaruyi Wan is the traditional Tibetan prescription, clinical research has proved that Honghuaruyi Wan can significantly reduce risk mouse dysmenorrhea caused by oxytocin, improve dysmenorrhea model of mice body torsion times and improve the estrogen and progestogen operator Netherlands rat pituitary estradiol and prolactin level, at the same time also can reduce the amount of TNF alpha, thus improving endometriosis dysmenorrhea. In this study, the therapeutic effects of Honghuaruyi Wan provided by Tibet Qizheng Tibetan Medicine Co.,Ltd on secondary dysmenorrhea in patients with endometriosis was evaluated clinically. A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was designed to provide evidence-based medical evidence for Honghuaruyi Wan in the treatment of endometriosis dysmenorrhea. In the design of this trial, the therapeutic effects and safety of Honghuaruyi Wan in the treatment of dysmenorrhea secondary to endometriosis were evaluated with Honghuaruyi Wan in the treatment group and placebo in the control group.

Primary dysmenorrhea constitutes a significant health, social and economic problems. It involves a broad spectrum of both physical and emotional manifestations with a prevalence that can reach 50 up to 91 % in young women . Furthermore, it compromises the most common gynaecological alternations and the major cause of women academic and work absenteeism which obviously reduces quality of life, daily activities and economic situation due to decreased working hours. NSAIDs are the first therapeutic line for primary dysmenorrhea; however, they might be accompanied by some undesirable side effects, such as dyspepsia, headache and drowsiness . Laser treatment is non-invasive, painless, and can be easily administered in primary care settings for a wide range of conditions. Laser treatment significantly reduces pain level in both acute and chronic painful conditions by increasing the production of endorphins. Low intensity laser therapy (LTTT) as a physical therapy modality with variety of therapeutic effects. There are various researches concluded that it is a safe therapeutic modality for the treatment of dysmenorrhea . More recently, the pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) , a form of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), was introduced to the field of physical therapy. The use of pulsed Nd:YAG lasers with high peak powers (3kW) and wave length of 1064 nm has been increasing and is considered as a non painful and non invasive modality that can stimulate areas that can't be reached with the low power lasers with patients reporting more significant pain reduction . Studies have documented the anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, and analgesic effects of Nd:YAG lasers, justifying their use in patients with pain issues . In fact, the HILT program is effective and has a more prolonged effect in pain reduction, and improving QOL with effects lasting up to 12 weeks post-treatment . There is limited literature regarding the clinical results of high intensity laser treatment for primary dysmenorrhea , this may be contributed to its high cost. So, this research is an attempt to add to the clinical knowledge in this field as it will investigate the difference between the effect of low and high intensity laser therapy on primary dysmenorrhea with the quality of life improvement being the main point of concern .

Dysmenorrhea is a common problem in women of reproductive age. Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as recurrent, cramping pain occurring with menses in the absence of identifiable pelvic pathology .

The goal of this non-invasive interventional study is to explore the university students' experience of living with primary dysmenorrhea and evaluate the effect of acupuncture at the Sanyinjiao point on their physiological discomfort. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there any difference in pain before and after the intervention of the Sanyinjiao point acupressure for dysmenorrhea among female college students? Is there any difference in the average number of Menstrual Distress Questionnaire scale before and after Sanyinjiao acupressure in female college students with dysmenorrhea? Participants will be acupressure at Sanyinjiao point triple times during the study.

To date, no MRI study has been published describing the prevalence of endometriosis in adolescent girls, not even in those with significant dysmenorrhea and therefore more particularly at risk. Likewise, there are no precise data on the type of superficial or early-onset deep endometriosis that appears in adolescence. The collection of these data would allow an earlier diagnosis, because it is better documented, of endometriosis. The lesions would then be treated earlier, avoiding their development and the problems of infertility related to this pathology. The aim of this sudy is to assess the prevalence of endometriosis and its phenotypic representation in the study population consulting for dysmenorrhea with suspected endometriosis.
