About this study

A Randomized Control Trial study will be directed at Riphah International University Faisalabad after synopsis approval. The Purposive examining method will be utilized to enlist the patients. Patients will be enrolled according to the pre-characterized criteria. Sample size for this examination is 40 females (18 yrs - 30 yrs) as per determination measures. The patients of one group will recieve exercise therapy and patients of other group will recieve high frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The patient's result will be assessed following a month of treatment . Informed consent will be taken from each patient. Data entry and analysis will be done with Statistical Package of Social Sciences version 20.

Treatment and study plan

Functional Exercise

Other

Among Functional Exercises, cobra position is most effective in reducing pelvic pain while others are cat and fish position.Kegel exercises along with other strengthening activities for pelvic floor muscles have been accounted for in writing to favorably affect primary dysmenorrheal.

High Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Other

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, best treat primary dysmenorrhea. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is proposed as an incredible spasm decrease, lessening torment, decline of analgesics and improving personal satisfaction in primary dysmenorrhea patients.

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale

    Time frame: 12th Week

    A Visual Analogue Scale is a measurement instrument, Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."
