In this study the researchers aimed to determine the effect of abdominal massage and stretching exercises on the severity of pain, dysmenorrhea symptoms and menstrual blood lost in university students. In this single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial 63 university students were included. Participants were randomly assigned into massage group, exercise and control groups. Our findings showed that the 2 cycle scores related to abdominal-back pain and fatigue in the massage group and 2 cycle scores related to mood change in the exercise group were significantly lower than those of the massage and control groups. However, there was no difference between groups in terms of the Visual Analogue Scale scores and blood lost. Our evidence indicates that massage was effective on abdominal-back pain and weakness, and exercise was effective on mood change.
在本研究中，研究人员旨在确定腹部按摩和伸展运动对大学生疼痛严重程度、痛经症状及月经失血量的影响。在这项单盲随机对照临床试验中，纳入了63名大学生。参与者被随机分为按摩组、运动组和对照组。我们的研究结果表明，按摩组中与腹部-背部疼痛和疲劳相关的2个周期评分以及运动组中与情绪变化相关的2个周期评分显著低于按摩组和对照组。然而，在视觉模拟量表评分和失血量方面，各组之间没有差异。我们的证据表明，按摩对腹部-背部疼痛和虚弱有效，运动对情绪变化有效。
