Brief Summary

This study was planned to determine the effect of yoga training on reducing nausea and pain symptoms in young women with primary dysmenorrhea. As a result of this study, evaluating the extent to which women with dysmenorrhea experience pain and nausea and the extent to which yoga has a positive effect on these symptoms may shed light on women experiencing these symptoms and developments in the literature, and may increase the use of non-pharmacological approaches. The results of the study will contribute to the literature on dysmenorrhea, one of the important gynecological problems in women. In addition, although there are many results in the literature on the effectiveness of yoga in the management of nausea symptoms with cancer patients, there are not many studies on nausea on dysmenorrhea. In this respect, it will provide important evidence to the literature.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

  VAS is a suitable measurement tool for the assessment of acute pain. This scale is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically. 0 means "No pain" and 10 means "Worst possible pain".

  Before and 6 weeks after yoga practice

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

  VAS will be used to assess nausea.The scale consists of a horizontal line 100 mm/10 cm long. At the left end of the line is 0 "No nausea", while at the right end is 10 "Severe nausea". The individual is asked to mark the point on the line that will accurately reflect their nausea. The distance of the individual's mark to the left end is measured with a ruler. This distance, measured in millimeters, is accepted as a "score" and recorded. In selecting individuals, values of 5 mm and below on the scale are evaluated as "no nausea", and all values of 5 mm and above are evaluated as "experiencing nausea".
