NCT06460870

Brief Summary

This project was a Randomized controlled trial conducted to check the effectiveness of mojzisova method in primary dysmenorrhea for pain, menstrual symptoms and insomnia. Duration was of 6 months, convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from DHQ hospital Toba Tek were randomly assigned, baseline assessment was done, Group A paarticipants were given baseline treatment along with mojzisova method, Group B participants were given baseline treatment along with stretching exercises, post intervention assessment was done, via WALIDD, Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) questionnaire 45 minutes per session, 2 sessions per month for 3 months, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • WALIDD

    A scale-type survey (working ability, location, intensity, days of pain, dysmenorrhea \[WaLIDD\] score) was designed.)which integrated features of dysmenorrhea such as: 1) number of anatomical pain locations (no part of the body, lower abdomen, lumbar region, lower limbs, inguinal region), 2) Wong-Baker pain range (does not hurt, hurts a little, hurts a little more, hurts even more, hurts a lot, hurts a lot more), 3) number of days of pain during menstruation (0, 1-2, 3-4, ≥5), and 4) frequency of disabling pain to perform their activities (never, almost never, almost always, always).Each tool's variable provided a specific score between 0 and 3, and the final score ranged from 0 to 12 points.

    4th week

  • NPRS

    The numeric rating scale is similar to the VAS in that it is bounded at the left-most end with "no pain" and at the right-most end with "worst pain imaginable" (or something similar). The difference is that instead of a line without marks, numbers from 0 to 10 are spaced evenly across the page. Patients are instructed to circle the number that represents the amount of pain that they are experiencing at the time of the evaluation. A variation of this scale is the verbal numeric scale (VNS), in which patients are asked to verbally state a number between 0 and 10 that corresponds to their present pain intensity.

    4th week

  • PSQI Questionnaire

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances seven "component" scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Seven component scores, ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (extreme difficulty), are obtained while assessing the PSQI. The global score, which ranges from 0 to 21, is calculated by adding the component scores. Poorer sleep quality is indicated by higher scores.

Study Arms (2)

Mojzisova method

EXPERIMENTAL

Mobilization of rib, lumbar spine, SI joint and internal rectal work. Stretching and strengthening exercises of pelvic floor, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx.

Other: Mojzisova method

Stretching exercises

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Stretching exercises cobra pose, child pose and cat/cow pose.

Other: Stretching exercises

Interventions

The home based regular exercises stretching and strengthning exercises twice daily along with hot pack. Manual therapy was applied in the first half of the menstrual cycle, once a month, for one hour. It includes mobilization of ribs, lumbar spine, and sacroiliac joints as well as coccygeal treatment, and internal rectal work. The patient was received 2 sessions per month for 3 months, for 45 minutes.

Mojzisova method

Stretching exercises was performed such as cobra pose, cat/cow pose and baby pose along with hotpack for 2 sessions per month for 45 min for 3 months.
