“…The frequency of dysmenorrhea was 90% in the Unites States, 67% in Switzerland, 52% in Georgia, and 28% in Mexico [8,18]. Based on the studies conducted in our country, the frequency of dysmenorrhea was determined to be 45.3-89.5% [12,13,35]. Frequency of dysmenorrhea varies by different geographical regions.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of dysmenorrhea in university students, review some associated factors and evaluate the relationship between dysmenorrhea and sleep quality. Material and Methods: The study group included 520 students. Survey forms prepared previously in line with the study objective were completed by the students under supervision. The severity of dysmenorrhea was rated with Visual Analogue Scale. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to evaluate the sleep quality. The χ² test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for the analyses. Statistical significance level was accepted at p < 0.05. Results: Mean age of the students was 20.23 ± 1.59 years (range 17-25). Frequency of dysmenorrhea was determined to be 69.0% (n = 359). Frequency of dysmenorrhea was higher in smokers, those with menstrual irregularity, those who use drugs for menstrual regulation and those having a family history (p < 0.05 for each). The most frequent symptoms in those having dysmenorrhea history were weakness (59.6%), fatigue (58.5%) and breast tenderness (45.4%), respectively. Sleep quality was found to be poorer in the students having a history of dysmenorrhea (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Dysmenorrhea is an important health problem in young women. Dysmenorrhea affects the sleep quality negatively.

“…There are many complementary therapies to treat menstrual pain, including yoga, acupressure, aroma therapy, relaxation therapy, endorphin massage, aerobic exercise, high-frequency electrical nerve therapy (TENS), or medication (Johnson, 2006), (Ramadhani, 2019), (Tennfjord et al, 2021), (Sari & Usman, 2021), (M.D., 2020), (Zaen, 2021), (Pawestri et al, 2023).…”

BackgroundResearch interest in the topic of complementary interventions to treat menstrual pain is increasing. In future research, researchers need information about trends and new things on complementary interventions to treat menstrual pain.PurposeThe research aims to determine trends in the number of publications, journals with the highest number of publications, which fields receive the most publication permits, network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization on complementary topics related to intervention dealing with menstrual pain.MethodsA search for publications on trends in complementary interventions to treat primary menstrual pain in adolescents resulted in 23,935 articles, four grants, 2,427 patents, and 42 clinical trials. After filtering through specified criteria, the number of articles obtained was 3,214, 249 patents, and 19 clinical trials.ResultsA search for publications on trends in complementary interventions to treat primary menstrual pain in adolescents resulted in 23,935 articles, four grants, 2,427 patents, and 42 clinical trials. After filtering through criteria such as publication year, research categories, publication type, published between 2018-2023, focus in the field of Health sciences, nursing, public health, clinical sciences, and article publication type were included as inclusion criteria of this study. The study obtained 3,214 articles, 249 patents, and 19 clinical trials. The peak of publications regarding trends in complementary interventions to treat primary menstrual pain in adolescents occurred in 2018. Meanwhile, the lowest number was in 2023. Research on complementary intervention trends to overcome primary menstrual pain in adolescents is in medicine, public health, nursing, and other fields such as trade management, tourism and services, human society, law, and legal studies. In addition, there is currently a trend for complementary therapy interventions to treat menstrual pain. Complementary therapies that are still rarely researched are progressive muscle relaxation therapy or herbal ginger to ease menstrual pain.Apart from that, progressive muscle relaxation therapy can also be used to treat anxiety in teenagers who experience menstrual pain, or the ginger herb has rarely been researched to treat menstrual pain.ConclusionTrends regarding complementary therapy interventions to treat menstrual pain need a review to find relevant alternative interventions for adolescent development and current digital developments. It is suggested that the next researcher choose a low visualization category theme to look for novelties in further research, one of which is ginger herbal therapy to overcome menstrual pain or interventions to overcome adolescent anxiety when experiencing menstrual pain.

“…Results ranging from 45% to 90% have been reported in studies conducted on the prevalence of dysmenorrhea. The variations in results can be attributed to differences in pain perception related to dysmenorrhea, societal differences and the assessment criteria of pain perception (2). Dysmenorrhea is evaluated as primary and secondary.…”

Aim:The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of oxidative stress on the etiopathogenesis of primary dysmenorrhea by comparing serum oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzyme levels Methods:A total of 38 women with primary dysmenorrhea and 21 women without dysmenorrhea who applied to our hospital's gynecology clinic were included in the study. Two blood samples were taken from each of the women included in the study, on the 3rd day and the 21st day of their menstrual cycle. The serum levels of Paraoxonase (PON), Arylesterase (ARES), and Stimulated Paraoxonase (SPON) were examined. PON, ARES, and SPON levels were compared between the patient and control groups, as well as within each group, on the 3rd and 21st days of menstrual cycles. Results: In our study, a significant difference was found in the mean age between the patient and control groups. No significant differences were observed in terms of age at menarche, regularity, and duration. No significant differences were found in the ARES, PON, and SPON levels examined on the 3rd and 21st days of the menstrual cycle between the patient and control groups. Conclusion:According to the results of our study, there was no significant difference in the levels of these markers between the patient and control groups on their respective menstrual cycle days. Based on this, we believe that oxidative and antioxidant markers are not directly involved in the etiopathogenesis of dysmenorrhea or they exhibit cycle-independent effects.
