The first purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of activity scheduling as a treatment for spasmodic dysmenorrhea, compared to relaxation training (a treatment of demonstrated effectiveness) and to a waiting-list control condition. The second purpose was to examine the differential effectiveness of these treatments on different measures. Forty women suffering from spasmodic dysmenorrhea completed six individualized treatment sessions or remained on the waiting list. Results showed that both activity scheduling and relaxation training were effective treatments for spasmodic dysmenorrhea, with both treatments producing improvements on general measures of dysmenorrhea, a symptom severity measure, and an activity measure.
本研究的首要目的是，将活动安排作为治疗痉挛性痛经的一种方法，与放松训练（一种已证实有效的治疗方法）及等待名单控制组进行比较，检验其有效性。第二个目的是检验这些治疗方法在不同测量指标上的差异有效性。40名患有痉挛性痛经的女性完成了6次个性化治疗课程，或留在等待名单上。结果表明，活动安排和放松训练都是治疗痉挛性痛经的有效方法，两种治疗方法在痛经的一般测量指标、症状严重程度测量指标和活动测量指标上均有改善。
