About

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

Full description

The literature gap of the study is that upto our knowledge, there is little or no evidence found in previous researches on the combined effects of kinesiology taping in combination with progressive muscle relaxation technique in primary dysmenorrhea.
