BackgroundPrimary dysmenorrhea leads to significant gynecological consultations, school absenteeism, disrupted daily activities, and adversely affects overall quality of life (QOL).PurposeThis study compared the effects of aquatic exercise versus aerobic exercise on primary dysmenorrhea and QOL in adolescent females.Subjects and MethodsSixty adolescent females suffering from primary dysmenorrhea with moderate to severe intensity were distributed randomly and equally into two groups was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06129708) the Registration Date, November 13, 2023; group A was treated by aquatic exercise for 12 weeks, while group B was treated by aerobic exercise for 12 weeks. Assessment of both groups before and after treatment involved evaluating dysmenorrhea severity using the WaLIDD Score, measuring pain intensity with the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), determining pressure pain threshold (PPT) with an algometry, and evaluating the QOL using EuroQol—5 Dimension—3 Level (EQ‐5D‐3L) and EuroQol‐visual analog scale (EQ‐VAS).ResultsBoth groups, A and B, experienced significant reductions in the WaLIDD score, NPRS, and all domains of EQ‐5D‐3L (p < 0.05), coupled with significant increases in PPT and EQ‐VAS (p < 0.05). Posttreatment comparisons between the groups showed insignificant differences in WaLIDD score, NPRS, and PPT (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant decrease in EQ‐5D‐3L and a significant increase in EQ‐VAS, favoring group A (p < 0.05).ConclusionBoth aquatic and aerobic exercises are effective methods in primary dysmenorrhea management and QOL improvement in adolescent females, with a better effect of aquatic exercise in enhancing QOL.

Aim. To determine the effect of radiofrequency on anthropometric measurements and lipid profile in postmenopausal women. Material and methods. Sixty postmenopausal women diagnosed as having abdominal adiposity and abnormal lipid profiles were incorporated into this study. Participants were assigned at random into two equal groups. Group A adhered to a Mediterranean diet and engaged in aerobic exercise for 12 weeks (n = 30), whereas group B followed a Mediterranean diet and participated in both aerobic exercise and radiofrequency treatments for the same 12-week period (n = 30). Both groups had their anthropometric measurements, encompassing weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, along with lipid profile components involving total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triglycerides (TG), assessed before and after the 12-week program duration. Results. Significant improvements (p < 0.05) were noted in all outcome measures within both groups. Upon post-treatment comparison, both groups exhibited statistically significant reductions in all anthropometric measurements, LDL and TG (p < 0.05), while there was a statistically significant increase in HDL (p < 0.05) favoring group B. Nevertheless, there were no significant differences between groups for TC and VLDL (p > 0.05) after treatment. Conclusion. Radiofrequency has positive effect on anthropometric measurements and lipid profile in postmenopausal women.
