Brief Summary:
Dysmenorrhea is more common among women of reproductive age, as it affects their quality of life and limit their daily activities and normal functioning. The estimates of dysmenorrhea from research conducted all around the world varied widely, from 20% to 90%. This study is planned to determine the effects of KT on clinical symptoms, QOL and academic performance of students with Primary dysmenorrhea.
Detailed Description:
Literature suggested that kinesio tape technique, one of the effective physiotherapy technique, used for Primary dysmenorrhea, to stimulate muscle movements, assist weak muscles (fascia and soft tissue), reduce discomfort and muscle cramps, facilitate proprioceptive input, boost lymph and blood flow, and relieve pain. This will be a randomized controlled trial, with three groups.
Participants in the experimental group will receive therapeutic tape on the sacral and suprapubic regions with the Star shape and ligament with general physical therapy session. Sham group (ST) group will receive sham taping with general physical therapy session. Participants in Control group (CG) will receive only general physical therapy session.
All groups will be assessed at baseline, at 8th week and 12th week for clinical symptoms, QOL and academic performance.
