Area of Science:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Exercise Science
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) significantly impacts women of reproductive age.
  • Physical exercise and physiotherapy are recognized for pain reduction and well-being improvement.
  • Identifying effective exercise programs for menstrual pain is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify therapeutic physical exercise programs and protocols for reducing menstrual pain.
  • To synthesize current evidence on exercise interventions for dysmenorrhea.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology (PCC).
  • Searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro, and ScienceDirect (Jan 2013 - Apr 2023).
  • Excluded qualitative studies, reviews, and meta-analyses; analyzed 9 studies using PRISMA-ScR.

Main Results:

  • 3325 studies were initially identified; 9 were included in the final analysis.
  • Significant variation existed in exercise program parameters (duration, intensity, repetitions, sets).
  • Aerobic training was the most frequently used therapeutic exercise.

Conclusions:

  • Aerobic training, particularly for women in their 20s, is the most common exercise for menstrual pain relief.
  • Aerobic exercise shows potential as a non-pharmacological intervention for managing dysmenorrhea.
  • Further research may refine optimal exercise protocols for dysmenorrhea management.
