About this trial
The study is randomized controlled trial,The study conducted in two groups. Group A has given the kinesiology taping on the lower abdomen and back for 1-3 days with progressive muscle relaxation technique for 10-20 minutes and a baseline treatment hot pack at a time twice a day from the start of menstruation and Group B has receive the kinesiology taping on the lower abdomen and baseline treatment hot pack without progressive muscle relaxation technique for 1-3 days. The total treatment duration will be 6 weeks. The rationale of this study is to provide empirical evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of kinesiology taping and progressive muscle relaxation. By investigating the potential benefits of this intervention, healthcare professionals can make informed decisions about incorporating K-taping and PMR in primary dysmenorhea. Focusing on the impact of kinesiology taping and progressive muscle relaxation on pain,anxiety, and body awareness aligns with a patient-centered approach to care. The goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to enhance overall well-being and functional capacity

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
numerical pain rating scale
changes from base line NPRS is used to access the pain at 1st day or before the start of menstruation at the end score is calculated by dividing the obtained score by total 0 means no pain and 10 is maximum
Time frame
1st day2
STAI tool (state triate anxiety inventory)
changes in the baseline ,STAI tool to access the anxiety of the patient feels at the start of menstruation at the end the score is calculated by dividing the score by total 0 means no anxiety and 4 means maximum anxiety
Time frame
1st day3
Body awareness questionaire
Changes in the baseline, Body Awareness Questionnaire (Shields, Mallory \& Simon, 1989) acess the body awarenss during dysmenorhea , at the end the score is calcuted 0 means not true of me and 7 is the maximum true of me
Time frame
1st daySecondary outcomes
1
Wallid questionaire
walid to access the Working ability, Location, Intensity (Wong-Baker) and Days of pain Score: 0 without dysmenorrhea, 1-4 mild dysmenorrhea, 5-7 moderate dysmenorrhea, 8-12 severe dysmenorrhea. Wong-Baker scale was reclassified to adjust a four-level scale.
