ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring whether virtual reality therapy can help reduce pain in young women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea, which is a type of menstrual pain. The study is looking for unmarried females aged 17 to 21 who have regular periods and experience menstrual pain but do not have any other reproductive health issues or take pain medication regularly.
If you or someone you know is eligible to participate, you would be involved in using virtual reality as a potential way to manage pain during menstrual cycles. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to understand how this innovative therapy might influence levels of certain chemicals linked to pain during menstruation. It’s an exciting opportunity to explore new ways to help young women manage menstrual discomfort!
