“…Aerobic exercise for 30-45 minutes at 70-85% HRmax, 3-5 days/week, for 8-12 weeks, either guided or unsupervised, relieves pain. Stretching or weight training for 10-20 minutes, 2-3 days/week, for 8 weeks shows substantial improvement, although the quality of research is weak, necessitating more investigation and assessment [ 8 - 13 ]. As most studies have shown, there is a considerable improvement in pain and posit various mechanisms involved in pain modulation in PD.…”

Dysmenorrhea is the term for describing complex menstrual flow and painful spasmodic cramps during menstruation, and pain without any pathology is considered Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD). It is the most frequent ailment among women of all ages and races. The pain is dull and throbbing in character and occurs in the lower back and abdomen. Symptoms commonly appear 6 to 12 months after menarche, with the most significant incidence in the late teen and early twenties. Physical exercise is nearly a new non-medical intervention to relieve PD associated pain. Aerobics, stretching and Resistive exercises for 8-12 weeks, either supervised or unsupervised, relieves pain. Exercises are believed to cause hormonal changes in the uterine lining, which reduces PD symptoms. Researchers have presumed different pain-relieving methods, ranging from non-opioids to opioids to hormonal for variations in pain sensitivity. Exercise-induced analgesia provides the central pathway as the primary mechanism for pain reduction while, another way to reducing pain in PD may be a hormonal interaction. The hormonal changes causing exercise-induced pain modulation during the menstruation cycle is not clearly understood and the interaction and activation of all the central and endocrine components, which is a complex mechanism, is also not explained clearly. This study briefly reviews the physiological mechanism of Exercise-induced analgesia and its potent roles in controlling the pathogenesis of PD for pain relief.

“…Como resultado da análise dos artigos supra referenciados, cinco abordam a dor aguda (18,19,20,23,24) e quatro incidem sobre a dor crónica (3,21,22,25) , sendo maioritariamente complementares às terapias convencionais.…”

“…No caso da dor aguda, as medidas não farmacológicas estudadas e com efeitos positivos no controlo da dor consistem em alongamento muscular (18) , posicionamento (19) , relaxamento (23) , crioterapia (19,24) , musicoterapia (20) e suporte emocional (19) (figura 2). Já no caso da dor crónica, as medidas estudadas incidem em massagem (3) , reflexologia (22) , acupressão (3) , TENS (25) , terapia térmica (calor/frio) (25) e associação de diferentes medidas num programa (exercícios de aquecimento, fortalecimento muscular, alongamento, treino de equilíbrio e massagem) (21) .…”

“…Globalmente, as medidas não farmacológicas parecem ter impacto tanto em adultos como em idosos (3,19,20,22,23) . Baseado nos resultados sensíveis aos cuidados de Enfermagem (e respetivos ganhos em saúde) já estudados por Doran (16) (2011), e na análise efetuada, identificam-se os seguintes: controlo de sintomas (diminuição na intensidade da dor) (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) , estado funcional (aumento da amplitude articular) (21) , estratégias de adaptação eficazes (melhoria do bem-estar e conforto) (3,21) e autocuidado (satisfação) (3) . Da análise realizada, identificam-se também os resultados sensíveis das medidas não farmacológicas aplicadas por enfermeiros, por tipo de dor -aguda ou crónica, tal como evidenciado na Figura 3.…”

Objetivo: identificar os resultados sensíveis das intervenções de Enfermagem ao nível das medidas não farmacológicas na pessoa com dor. Metodologia: revisão sistemática da literatura com pesquisa na EBSCO (CINAHL e MEDLINE), entre janeiro de 2012 e outubro de 2017, utilizando o método PI[C]O. Foram selecionados 9 artigos para análise.Resultados: Resultados sensíveis identificados para dor crónica -controlo de sintoma (diminuição na intensidade da dor), estado funcional (aumento da amplitude articular), estratégias de adaptação eficazes (melhoria do bem-estar e conforto) e autocuidado (satisfação); para dor aguda -controlo de sintoma. A formação é fundamental para a autogestão nas pessoas com dor e para o desenvolvimento de competências dos enfermeiros.Conclusões: As medidas não farmacológicas complementares às terapias convencionais têm efeitos positivos no controlo da dor em adultos e idosos.Palavras-chave: Enfermagem; cuidados de Enfermagem; intervenção de enfermagem; dor; gestão da dor; terapias alternativas; medidas não farmacológicas e qualidade de vida.

“…Two studies using very similar exercises had positive effects of implementing a stretching protocol during a woman's menstrual cycle. 4,25 Active stretching of the pelvis, abdomen, and groin has been shown to be a simple and effective way to help relieve the symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle. 19 It is recommended to encourage women to perform these stretches regularly to help decrease the potential negative impact of symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea.…”

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation, is common in menstruating females. However, in some it can cause intense pain, disrupt activities of daily living, and impact quality of life. The treatment of dysmenorrhea does not traditionally include physical therapy. Objectives: A systematic review was conducted to explore the role of physical therapy in treating dysmenorrhea. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: A search was performed in August 2020 and January 2022 using EBSCOhost, Academic Search Ultimate, CINAHL Complete, and MEDLINE. Search terms included exercise or physical activity or fitness AND dysmenorrhea or menstrual pain or painful menstruation. Inclusion criteria were articles that were peer-reviewed, published in the last 10 years, and available in full text in English. All articles included in the review were analyzed for quality on a hierarchy of evidence scale. Results: Twenty-two results were included in this systematic review. Nineteen articles were level 2 and 3 articles were level 3 on the hierarchy of evidence scale. The Visual Analog Scale and Menstrual Distress Questionnaire were the widely utilized outcome measures used to determine the effectiveness of the interventions. Interventions including aerobic exercise, stretching, kinesio taping, aquatic therapy, acupressure, yoga, core stability, positional activities, spinal manipulation, and patient education have shown to be effective. Conclusions: Physical therapy can assist in the reduction of pain and other symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea. Overall, articles indicated that aerobic exercise, stretching, and core stability yielded the greatest improvement
