Abstract
Background: The chief complaints of menstruating females can impact their life with several physical and psycho-social wellbeing. Menstrual pain could be due to primary or secondary dysmenorrhea. There has been a lack of ongoing studies to demonstrate the association of crucial variables with day-to-day activities during the cycle.
Aim: Study adopted to explore the effectiveness of pelvic rocking exercises and home workouts among adolescents.
Methods: A case-control randomized design was adopted among the adolescents' community where the pre-post test was carried out, and the selected variables have been statistically analyzed.
Results: In total, 180 adolescents participated in our study. Overweight has been well documented as one of the variables to experience pain, and the intensity of the pain minimized after performing a couple of interventions. Moreover, few findings appeared that exercises and home workouts reduce the pain level (scores) (p<0.05) and documented fewer dysmenorrhea symptoms in the following cycle.
Conclusion: The study reports muscle relaxation strategies to help in the relief of menstrual pain. The authors recommend performing ongoing research with a larger sample size to interpret the findings with cautions to associate cause-effect relationships.
