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


Sponsor

Gazi University

Enrollment

36 participants

Start Date

Sep 10, 2024

Study Type

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.
