“…Thus, it can be used as a treatment for reducing the severity of pelvic pain (31). Also, Gim and Choi (2018) showed the result of short-term swiss ball training 'core strengthening exercises' significantly decreases pain and should be considered as an effective form of treatment (32). Armour et al (2019) reported that exercises done for approximately 45 to 60 minutes, three days a week or more, regardless of intensity, can result in a clinically meaningful reduction in pelvic pain intensity of approximately 25 mm out of 100 mm VAS.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core muscles strengthening exercises on the pelvic pain caused by copper intrauterine device (IUD). Methods: 30 women complained of pelvic pain after IUD insertion by at least 6 months were participated in this study. They were divided into two groups, equal in number. The study group (group A) received core muscles strengthening exercises and supportive advice at the painful episodes as heating application on the lower abdominal area, hot cinnamon drinks and diaphragmatic breathing exercise for relaxation and mind distraction. The second group was the control group (group B) received the same supportive advice as group (A) at the painful episodes. Both groups were assessed before and after treatment period (10 weeks) for pain degree by visual analogue scale (VAS) and menstrual pain severity by verbal multidimensional scoring scale (VMSS) to assess pain severity experienced through the activities of daily living. Results: The results of this study revealed that, there was a significant decrease in VAS and VMSS values post treatment in group (A) (study group) compared with that pre treatment values, while there was no significant difference between pre and post treatment values in VAS and VMSS in group (B) (control group). when comparing both groups there was a significant decrease in the post treatment values of VAS and in the median values of VMSS of group (A) compared with that of group (B). Conclusion: Core muscles strengthening exercises is considered as an effective modality in reducing pelvic pain caused by IUD.

Aim To examine the effect of listening to music and drawing on coping with dysmenorrhea complaints of nursing students. Methods The study was a double-blind, three parallel-group randomized controlled trial conducted between August 2023 and May 2024 at Bartın University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing. Ninety-six dysmenorrheic nursing students with regular menstrual cycles were included in the study and randomly assigned to three groups as drawing, music and control groups. Visual Analog Scale (100mmVAS of pain), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Menstrual Symptoms Scale (MSS) were applied to the students at baseline, 1st and 2nd months. The interventions were as follows: the music group listened to a 29-minute and 32-second song three days before menstruation and on the first day of menstruation in the third month composed by Juan Sebastian Martin-Saavedra, while the drawing group created art for the same duration. The pain scores, perceived stress, and menstrual symptoms were measured in all groups after the interventions. Results Pretest, 1st and 2nd months 100mmVAS of pain score averages were 7.16 ± 1.99, 7.16 ± 1.99 and 7.50 ± 1.98 for the control group, 7.22 ± 1.64, 4.84 ± 1.80 and 2.13 ± 1.45 for the music group and 6.69 ± 1.80, 5.09 ± 1.55 and 2.91 ± 1.33 for the drawing group, respectively. Pretest, 1st and 2nd months PSS score averages were 28.75 ± 3.71, 29.09 ± 3.87 and 30.03 ± 4.16 for the control group, 29.91 ± 3.98, 14.06 ± 4.06 and 3.59 ± 3.82 for the music group and 27.38 ± 3.63, 18.13 ± 5.60 and 8.34 ± 5.46 for the drawing group, respectively. Pretest, 1st and 2nd months MSS score averages were 79.25 ± 15.41, 88.00 ± 20.08 and 90.66 ± 19.13 for the control group, 85.41 ± 10.77, 62.41 ± 15.23 and 34.00 ± 12.62 for the music group and 80.69 ± 11.07, 65.53 ± 15.37 and 47.31 ± 15.11 for the drawing group, respectively. Mean menstrual pain intensity, mean perceived stress level, and mean menstrual symptoms level in the art and music group decreased significantly at 1st and 2nd months post-intervention ( p < .001). A significant increase in score levels was observed in the control group. Conclusions Both art and music practices are effective in significantly reducing menstrual pain, perceived stress, and menstrual symptoms in nursing students with dysmenorrhea. It is important to include listening to music and drawing on women’s health and disease nursing practices to control menstrual pain, perceived stress, and menstrual symptoms in dysmenorrhea.
