New study: exercise and brain training may ease period pain

This study looks at whether adding motor imagery (mental practice of movements) or pain neuroscience education (learning about how pain works) to a regular exercise program can reduce menstrual pain and improve thinking flexibility in young women with primary dysmenorrhea. About 51 women aged 18-25 will take part in an 8-week program with supervised exercise twice a week. The goal is to find better ways to manage period pain without medication.
