Back exercises may reduce period pain, small study finds

This study looked at whether spinal stabilization training (specific back and core exercises) can help women with painful periods (dysmenorrhea). Fifty women aged 18-30 with regular cycles and no childbirth history were split into two groups: one did the exercises, the other did not. Researchers measured pain, symptoms, and daily function before and after the program. The goal was to see if exercise could be a drug-free way to manage period pain.
