A Research Study Exploring How Musculoskeletal Function and the Autonomic Nervous System Relate to Visceral Pain in Women With and Without Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods).

Sponsor: Azusa Pacific University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if women with dysmenorrhea demonstrate an increased musculoskeletal and autonomic nervous system response to a painful visceral stimulus compared to controls. A secondary aim is to determine if interoceptive awareness moderates this relationship. The designed methodology aims to elucidate the intricate connections between the interoceptive and musculoskeletal systems in pain perception among female participants, providing valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of interoceptive pain and functional musculoskeletal changes.
