NCT ID NCT06835036
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 women with primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods) to find out what amount of pain reduction is truly meaningful to them. Participants did an 8-week exercise program, and researchers measured pain and other symptoms using standard questionnaires. The goal is to help future studies set better targets for what counts as real improvement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Exercise treatment (functional exercise programme 3 days/week for 8 weeks)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study will help doctors and researchers know how much pain relief is meaningful for women with period cramps, improving future treatment studies.
What could go wrong
This is a completed observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all women. It does not test a new treatment, only how to measure improvement.
