Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common
gynecological problems among young women, often interfering with daily
activities and quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as Yoga
and relaxation techniques have been widely adopted as safe, effective
approaches to relieve menstrual pain.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Yoga and Laura
Mitchell Relaxation technique in reducing symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea
among adolescent females in terms of WaLIDD score.
Method: A total of 80 young women aged 18–24 years
diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly allocated into two groups: A
Yoga group (n=40) and a Mitchell’s relaxation technique group (n=40). The trial
was carried out over six months until completion. Each therapy was delivered
under appropriate supervision for two successive days.
Result: In total, 80 participants were analyzed (Yoga
group n=40, Mitchell’s relaxation technique group n=40). Both groups
demonstrated remarkable improvement in pain based on the WaLIDD score before
and after the intervention (p>0.05). The findings indicate that the average
decrease in post-intervention WaLIDD score did not differ significantly between
group A and group B. The mean reduction in WaLIDD score for group A = 23.57 and
group B = 25.81 appeared nearly identical. Therefore, no substantial variation
was observed between the two interventions.
