Vibration, massage and myofascial release for period pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
