This study tests whether combining vibration, massage, and myofascial release (a gentle stretching technique) can help relieve pain from primary dysmenorrhea (period pain without an underlying condition). If you are a woman with regular periods and moderate to severe menstrual pain, this trial may offer a non-drug treatment option.
This trial tests a non-drug treatment using mild electrical pulses to a nerve in the leg (tibial nerve) to reduce pain from primary dysmenorrhea (cramps during your period with no other pelvic condition). It could help if you have painful periods and prefer a drug-free option.
This study tests if TENS, a gentle electrical stimulation device, can reduce period pain and related symptoms. If you have painful periods and are not using other treatments, this might be an option for you.
This trial tests a wearable sleeve with tiny semiconductor chips to see if it helps relieve period pain (called primary dysmenorrhea). You wear the sleeve during your period, and researchers compare your pain and symptoms before and after using it.
This study tests a virtual (app-based) approach to help manage menstrual cramps. It is for people with regular periods who have moderate to severe cramp pain and want to try a non-medication option.
