An interventional study of Extracorporeal Shock wave in Primary Dysmenorrhea, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 25 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-03-11.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study was carried out upon forty women diagnosed as primary dysmenorrhea. They were selected from outpatient clinics of gynecology of Ain Shams University Hospital, Cairo University. Their age ranged from 25-35 years, BMI\<30kg/ m².
Patients with primary dysmenorrhea diagnosed by a physician, spondylolisthesis and chronic low back pain were excluded from the study. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups (A\& B). Group (A) consisted of twenty subjects, with an average age 29.2±1.9Yrs, and BMI 27.28±2.1kg/m2 who received Extracorporeal shock waves. Group (B) consisted of twenty patients, with an average age 28.58±2.2Yrs, and BMI 28.92±0.7kg/m2 who received sham technique. A hot pack was used for 15 minutes for both groups (A\&B) before the treatment.

Visual Analogue Scale
Visual analogue scale: that was used to determine the pain intensity level. It consists of 10 cm as a horizontal line with one end represented that (0= no pain) and the other end (10= worst pain). The assessment was performed for every woman in both groups (A, B) before and after the treatment program.
Time frame: three months
analysis of circulating β-endorphin
assessment of circulating β-endorphin was done before and after the treatment progam
