Summary

Pain is one of the most common symptoms of menstrual syndrome that significantly affects quality of life. The aim of our study is to compare the effect of Pilates on menstrual pain and the effectiveness of the applications within themselves.

Detailed description

20 women experiencing severe pain during menstruation were randomized into two groups. The same exercise program is applied to 10 participants face-to-face, and to 10 participants via telerehabilitation. Exercises are applied for 6 weeks, 2 days a week. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used for pain assessment, SF-36 Short Form is used to assess quality of life, and Menstrual Attitude Scale is used to assess symptoms in the premenstrual/menstrual period. Evaluations are performed twice in total, before and after treatment. Statistical analysis will be performed with SPSS 24.0 program. If the data is parametric, paired sample t-test will be used for within-group evaluation; independent sample t-test will be used for between-group evaluation. If the data is non-parametric, Wilson test will be used for within-group evaluation and Mann Whitney U test will be used for between-group evaluation.
