Brief Summary:
Dysmenorrhea; It is defined as painful menstrual bleeding and is included in the 10th Revision of International Disease Statistics and Related Health Problems published by the World Health Organization in 1992. In women with dysmenorrhea, pain usually begins within 1-2 years after menarche, is intermittent, cramp-like, predominantly in the suprapubic region, and may sometimes be accompanied by various symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The incidence of dysmenorrhea can often differ because most women suffering from this problem do not seek any health care services. Symptoms of the menstrual period may negatively affect women in all areas of life by causing various somatic and psychological problems. The state of being absent at least once at school or work due to symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea has been reported by 13-51% of women suffering from this condition. In the treatment of dysmenorrhea, the application of exercise to reduce the level of pain and alleviate the severity of symptoms was started by Mosler in 1914. Mosler demonstrated that exercise pumps blood to the uterus, thereby reducing menstrual pain. In later recent studies, it was found that exercise increases beta-endorphin hormone secretion, which has a natural pain reliever effect in the body; suggested that it reduces stress, pain, and prostaglandin levels. Therefore, the use of exercise as a therapy is thought to improve not only pain and mental health symptoms, but also the quality of life. As of March 11, 2020, since the World Health Organization defined Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. In the current epidemic process, the concept of "social distance" has been emphasized as the most important and basic way of reducing the risk of transmission from close contact, and the importance of choosing telerehabilitation has been emphasized once again. Online application of exercise programs can be defined as telerehabilitation, as the transmission of rehabilitation services over long distances by using electronic information and communication technology. In recent years, it has become one of the popular areas with the development of technology. Due to the limited number of studies on this subject in the literature, our study aimed to investigate the effect of the online yoga-based exercise program on women with primary dysmenorrhea.
Detailed Description:
This study will be conducted online between March 2021 and May 2021 in their own settings for women with regular menstrual cycles to investigate the impact of online yoga-based exercise programs on women with primary dysmenorrhea. All participants will be given detailed information about the study and a written informed consent form will be signed that they agree to work voluntarily. The GPower program was used to determine the number of people to be included in the study and control groups. When the results of two studies similar to our study were evaluated in the literature review, it was seen that the Effect size d value for the VAS score was distributed between 0.17 and 2.06 and clustered around 1. When the effect size was d = 1, α = 0.05, Power (1-β) = 0.90 (90%) was taken in the GPower package program, and the minimum sample size was determined to be 50, 25 in the study and control groups. They will be randomly divided into two groups of 25 people each, according to the order of application. While an online yoga-based exercise program and an informative training program was applied to the experimental group from two randomly separated groups, only an informative training program will be given to the control group.
