Brief Summary: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD), defined as menstrual pain without any structural lesions, usually begins shortly before or immediately after the onset of the menstrual cycle and commonly lasts for 48 to 72 hour
Detailed Description: Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological conditions in women. Primary dysmenorrhea (PD), defined as menstrual pain without any structural lesions, usually begins shortly before or immediately after the onset of the menstrual cycle and commonly lasts for 48 to 72 hour. It is accompanied by general symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, malaise, weakness, lower backache, and diarrhea. In ovulatory cycles, women secrete high levels of or have increased sensitivity to prostaglandins. These prostaglandins may stimulate myometrial contractions and sensitize pain fibers, and thus induce pelvic pain.

Females of reproductive age often suffer from dysmenorrhea, a painful condition. Despite dysmenorrhea being generally considered a benign condition, a significant disability can result from it. Researchers suggest that dysmenorrhea has been linked to migraines, headaches, and fibromyalgia, among other painful disorders. The authors reported further evidence that dysmenorrhea can alter noxious sensory processing.

Primary dysmenorrhea usually begins six to 12 months after menarche and is characterized by spasmodic cramping pain in the lower abdomen that can radiate to the lower back and anterior or inner thighs. The pain usually has a clear temporal pattern: it begins a few hours before or at the start of menstruation, is most intense at onset, gradually waning over two to three days.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness shockwave therapy on low back pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
