  • McGill pain scale short form

    The characteristic of pain felt by the patients during menstruation was evaluated using the McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form,With the McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire, the location of the pain, the feeling it creates in the individual, its relationship with time, its severity and the level of viable pain for the individual are determined. High score indicates high level of pain

  • Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire

    5 minutes

  • Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale

  • Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire

    5 minutes

  • The Menstrual Distress Questionnaire

Study Arms (3)

FEMOB

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) treatment will be applied to the lumbar and suprapubic areas using 2 channels and 4 electrodes. Conventional TENS (120 Hz) will be applied simultaneously to the lumbar and suprapubic areas for 30 minutes. Hot pack application will be done sequentially to the lumbar and suprapubic areas for 15 minutes each, for a total of 30 minutes. FEMOB is a mobilization model that includes temporo-mandibular, occipito-sacral, and sacroiliac joint mobilizations along with abdominal myofascial release and kinesio taping.
