This study tests whether a mental training technique called graded motor imagery—where you imagine moving your body in specific ways—can reduce severe menstrual pain. The trial is for women with confirmed primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods without underlying disease) who have altered pain sensitivity.
This study tests whether pelvic floor and diaphragmatic breathing exercises can reduce pain during periods. It is for women with primary dysmenorrhea who have not had a pregnancy or childbirth and are not on regular medications.
This study tests a special breathing and muscle training program to see if it can reduce period pain in young women. It may help you manage your symptoms without medication.
This study tests two hands-on physical therapy techniques—sacral release and lumbar mobilization—to see if they can reduce severe period pain. If you have significant menstrual pain that isn't caused by an underlying condition, this trial may help you find relief.
This trial measures how pelvic floor muscles work in young women who have painful periods. It may help researchers understand what causes period pain and how to treat it.
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.
