Summary

This study is aimed at determining the effect of high intensity interval training VS yoga on pain, catastrophizing and quality of life among young females with dysmenorrhea.

Detailed description

Dysmenorrhea is defined as a pain experienced by females before or during menstruation and it is a common and important gynecological condition found in females of reproductive age that adversely affects their quality of life. The cause of PD is believed to be the excess release of prostaglandins during normal ovulation cycle. The health care costs were altogether higher among females with dysmenorrhea compared with females who didn't experience the ill effects of this condition, and excess costs were essentially determined by outpatient care, so poses greater burden of disease than any other gynecological complaint. Females having more pain catastrophizing scores leads to increases chances of disability. Proper evidence behind HIIT training among females with primary dysmenorrhea is sparse and is based on different clinical experiences and a less number of studies with limited methodological design.
