ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how virtual reality (VR) can help relieve painful menstruation, also known as dysmenorrhea, in adolescent girls. The researchers want to see if using VR can make the experience of menstrual pain more bearable and improve relaxation during this time.

To participate in this study, girls aged 16 to 22 who experience painful menstruation and have a normal body weight (a body mass index between 20 and 25) can join. However, girls with certain conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, obesity, or severe menstrual bleeding, won't be eligible. If you decide to take part, you can expect to use virtual reality technology during your menstrual cycle to see if it helps reduce pain and improve your overall comfort. This study is currently recruiting participants, so it's a great chance to contribute to research that could help many young women.
