An interventional study of shock wave therapy and dietary modification in Primary Dysmenorrhea, sponsored by MTI University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-03-24.
Sponsored by MTI University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
purpose of this study to investigate the effect of Extracorporeal shock wave therapy on pain and prostaglandin level in patient with primary dysmenorrhea
This randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of shock wave therapy in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.
females are randomly assigned into 2 groups: group A SWT treatment plus dietary modification during PD (n=25） GROUP B:dietary modification only (n=25）;
Participants in group B will receive dietary modification for three successive months
The numerical rating scale (NRS) and prostaglandin blood level will be recorded and evaluated before and after treatment.
398 studies on the registry are indexed under Dysmenorrhea; 96 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 60 across 333 interventional studies indexed under Dysmenorrhea.

Exclusion Criteria:
shock wave for primary dysmenorrhea for study group along side to dietary modification
Other: shock wave therapy · Other: dietary modification
dietary modification for primary dysmenorrhea for control group
Other: dietary modification
Intervention group is by shock wave therapy. A radial shock wave device (EME, ITALY) was used. for 4 sessions (one session before the expected day of period and session per day for day1 , day 2 and day 3 of each menstrual cycle) for three successive periods.
Participants will receive dietary modification for three consecutive months dietary modification will be low caffeine and high water and liquids intake and reduce the uptake of fast food, should be followed for 3 months
numerical rating scale
Numeric rating scale will be 10 cm digital line with 0 (zero) representing feeling no pain and 10 representing feeling the worst pain, was used to assess the severity of the pain before and after treatment for all females in both groups (A\&B). measurement will done twice first one at baseline(will be considered as pre treatment measure) and 2nd on e at 3rd menstrual cycle ( will be considered as post treatment measure)
Time frame: 3 months
prostaglandin
5cm plasma concentrations of prostaglandin F2α was taken from all females and was analyzed in the Laboratory index to determine the prostaglandin plasma level measurement will done twice before after the treatment program.
Time frame: 3months
