The Effects Of Pilates-Based Tele-Exercise In Primary Dysmenorrhea

In this study, the investigators will aim to investigate the effects of Pilates-based tele-exercise on the physical and mental health of women with primary dysmenorrhea. The study will include 22 volunteers diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. The first group will undergo Pilates-based tele-exercises (6 weeks/2 days/50 minutes) (PTTE, n=11). The second group will be a non-intervention control group (CG, n=11). Pain severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and menstrual information will be evaluated using the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ), Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ), and Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale (FEDS). Quality of life will be assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP).Inclusion criteria were determined as follows: being between 18-30 years old, diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea during an ultrasound examination, having a PD pain score of 4-7 cm on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), being able to attend Pilates sessions twice a week, not engaging in regular exercise, and having a regular menstrual cycle (30-35 days) and bleeding duration (3-10 days). Exclusion criteria included being pregnant, having serious comorbidities (neurological, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal disorders), and not willing to participate in the study. Volunteers who agree to participate in the study will sign an informed consent form, after which they will be given the necessary information about the scales used in the assessment. The scales will be filled out by the participants based on their previous menstrual experiences. After the assessment, Pilates-based tele-rehabilitation exercises will be applied for 6 weeks. At the end of the 6 weeks, assessments will be repeated in both groups. The scales applied to both groups before and after the study will be uploaded to the Google Forms database and sent to the participants.
