Summary

the aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of lumbar proprioception training on primary dysmenorrhea.

Detailed description

Although previous studies reported the effect of physiotherapy practices through therapeutic exercises on primary dysmenorrhea as core muscles strengthening, core stability exercises, connective tissue massage and classical massage, relaxation, strengthening, stretching, aerobic exercises, pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises, yoga and Pilates. None of them have investigated the effect of lumbar proprioception training on primary dysmenorrhea. Therefore, this study will be the first one which aims to investigate the effect of lumbar proprioception training on primary dysmenorrhea. This trial will include 2 groups; group A composed of 20 females that will receive hot packs and pelvic rocking exercises for 4 weeks and group B also composed of 20 females that will receive hot packs and pelvic rocking exercises in addition to lumbar proprioception training for 4 weeks.

Conditions

• Primary Dysmenorrhea

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	lumbar proprioception training	a) Sensorimotor training: Sensorimotor training and reconditioning of proprioceptive senses have recently been found to be helpful in increasing motor performance and coordination, muscle strength, sensorimotor abilities, increasing intermuscular control, and improving one's response to sensory information and muscle tone. Reconditioning of proprioceptive senses and sensorimotor training increases one's muscle adjustment ability, maximizes the sensory input in different parts of the body and aids in improving one's motor adjustment ability (Hwang et al ., 2013). Position Exercise methods as Hollowing exercise: Participants will be asked to contract the abdominal muscles, raising the center of movement toward the navel in a quadruped position.
OTHER	Hot packs	hot application in the form of hot packs on the lower abdomen and lower back for a total duration of 30 minutes, once per day, during the first two days of menstruation
OTHER	Pelvic rocking exercise	Pelvic rocking exercise
