Summary

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of myofascial release on spinal curvature, premenstrual symptoms, and quality of life in scoliotic females with dysmenorrhea

Detailed description

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex 3D structural disorder of the spine seen in children from 10 years old until skeletal maturity and confirmed by a Cobb angle of 10° or more and accompanied by vertebral rotation (Addai et al., 2020). It is the most common types of scoliosis and it is predominantly seen in girls at low curve magnitudes ( LeBauer et al., 2008). A previous study reported the beneficial effect of myofascial release (MFR) on adults with idiopathic scoliosis (LeBauer et al., 2008). MFR showed a decrease in pain, improved posture, and advancement in quality of life, which may include physical, social, and pulmonary function (las Penas, 2005). HYPOTHESES: There will be no effect of myofascial release on spinal curvatures, menstrual pain, and quality of life in young scoliotic females with primary dysmenorrhea .

Conditions

• Scoliosis Idiopathic Adolescent
• Dysmenorrhea
• Premenstrual Syndrome
• Quality of Life

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Myofascial release.	Myofascial release (MFR) is a therapeutic treatment that uses gentle pressure and stretching to facilitate the release of fascial restrictions caused by accidents, injury, stress, repetitive use, and traumatic or surgical scarring. The fascial restrictions are palpated by the practitioner and the techniques are applied directly to the skin of the patient without lotions or oils. The pressure is applied into the direction of the restriction just until resistance is felt or the tissue is perceived to stop moving. The pressure is sustained at this point of resistance, without sliding over the skin or forcing the tissue, for a minimum of 90-120s. As the tissue begins to release, the practitioner maintains the same amount of pressure and follows the release three dimensionally through multiple releases.
OTHER	Traditional exercises for scoliosis treatment.	The exercises are: 1. Pelvic tilt. 2. Arm and leg raises. 3. Cat-cow. 4. Bird dog. 5. Latismus dorsi stretch. 6. Abdominal press. 7. Practice a good posture. 8. Stretching and scapular exercises.
