To assess the overall effect size of the impact of yoga on menstrual pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
Randomized controlled trials that were published in the English language until December 2018 in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched. The methodologies from 4 trials conducted on 230 participants with primary dysmenorrhea were included in this meta-analysis to compare the effects that performing a yoga program has on menstrual pain (n = 129) to the effects of not performing yoga (n = 101).
The overall effect size of the impact of a yoga program on menstrual pain in primary dysmenorrhea was high with a standardized mean difference of -2.09 (-3.99 to -0.19) (p = 0.031) among the effect sizes of the 4 trials (95% confidence interval).
Yoga is an effective intervention for alleviating menstrual pain in women with primary dysmenorrhea.
评估瑜伽对原发性痛经患者经期疼痛的总体影响效应大小。
检索 PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science 和 Cochrane 图书馆电子数据库中截至 2018 年 12 月发表的英文文献。纳入 4 项针对 230 例原发性痛经患者的随机对照试验，对其方法学进行分析，比较瑜伽方案对经期疼痛（n=129）的影响与不进行瑜伽的影响（n=101）。
4 项试验的效应量的总体效应大小显示，瑜伽方案对原发性痛经患者经期疼痛的影响较大，标准化均数差为-2.09（-3.99 至-0.19）（p=0.031）。（95%置信区间）。
瑜伽是缓解原发性痛经女性经期疼痛的有效干预措施。
