Connective Tissue Massage and Music-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation in Primary Dysmenorrhea

2026年6月26日 更新者：Raziye Şavkın、Pamukkale University

The Effects of Connective Tissue Massage and Music-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Pain Intensity, Pressure Pain Threshold, and Menstruation-Related Symptoms in Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of Connective Tissue Massage (CTM) and music-based Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT) on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, analgesic use, and menstruation-related symptoms in women with primary dysmenorrhea. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: CTM, music-based PMRT, or control. Baseline assessment will be conducted during menstrual days 1-2 of Cycle 0. The interventions will be applied during the premenstrual intervention window of Cycle 0, from the estimated ovulation day, calculated as cycle length minus 14 days, until Cycle 1 Day 1. Post-intervention assessment will be conducted during menstrual days 1-2 of Cycle 1. No intervention will be applied after the post-intervention assessment, and follow-up assessment will be conducted during menstrual days 1-2 of Cycle 2. Outcomes including pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, analgesic use, menstrual symptoms, attitudes toward menstruation, functional and emotional impact of dysmenorrhea, and pain catastrophizing will be evaluated across menstrual cycles. Participant satisfaction and adherence to the interventions will also be assessed.

措施说明
大体时间
Pain Intensity
大体时间：Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
Participants' menstrual pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Participants will be asked to rate the average pain intensity experienced during the first two days of menstruation, the average pain intensity experienced throughout the menstrual period, and the worst pain intensity experienced during menstruation. The VAS is widely used in clinical practice and scientific research to assess pain perception. Scores range from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity and therefore a worse outcome.
Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.

大体时间：Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
The Menstrual Attitude Scale will be used to assess attitudes toward menstruation. The scale consists of 33 items across five categories: menstruation as a debilitating phenomenon, menstruation as a disturbing phenomenon, menstruation as a natural phenomenon, anticipation/perception of menstruation, and denial of the effects of menstruation. Each item is rated on a five-point scale ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate a more positive attitude toward menstruation.
Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
Menstrual Symptom Scale
大体时间：Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
The Menstrual Symptom Scale will be used to assess menstrual pain and related symptoms. The scale consists of 22 items evaluating menstruation-related symptoms and is rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from never to always. The scale comprises three subscales: Negative Effects/Somatic Complaints, Menstrual Pain Symptoms, and Coping Strategies. Higher mean scores indicate greater severity of menstrual symptoms within the corresponding subscale.
Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
Pain Threshold
大体时间：Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
Pain threshold assessment will be performed using a JTech Medical Commander Algometer. Measurements will be taken using a 1 cm² pressure probe, with the algometer held perpendicular to the measurement site. Assessments will be conducted at six points: 4 cm to the right and left of the umbilicus, 4 cm below these two points, 4 cm below the umbilicus, and the midpoint of the spinous processes of the S2-S4 vertebrae. Two measurements will be obtained from each point, with a 30-second rest interval between measurements. The average of the two readings will be calculated and recorded in lbs/cm².
Cycle 0, menstrual days 1-2; Cycle 1, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 4; Cycle 2, menstrual days 1-2, approximately Week 8. Each cycle is expected to last 28 +/- 7 days.
