Myofascial Release Technique in Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea
Effect of Myofascial Release Technique on Central Sensitization, Myofascial Trigger Point and Menstrual Symptoms in Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea: Sham-Controlled, Randomized Double-Blind Study
Gazi University
36 participants
Sep 10, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
It has been found that women with dysmenorrhea have active trigger points, particularly in the rectus abdominis, oblique abdominal muscles, quadratus lumborum, and paraspinal muscles. The myofascial release technique is a widely used manual therapy method characterized by the application of low-load, long-duration mechanical forces to manipulate the myofascial complex. This technique aims to restore optimal length, alleviate pain, and improve function. This study aims to examine the effect of the myofascial release technique on central sensitization, myofascial trigger points, and menstrual symptoms in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

Interventions
The myofascial release technique is a widely used manual therapy method characterized by low-load, prolonged mechanical forces applied to manipulate the myofascial complex, aiming to restore optimal length, alleviate pain, and improve function.
The hands of the researcher applying the technique will be placed in the same areas as the myofascial release technique, with only the palms in light contact for the same duration. However, no intervention will be made to create any pressure or open the tissue barrier.
