Posterior Tibia Nerve Neuroprolotherapy for Dysmenorrhea

This trial is a crossover study involving the enrollment of 60 women aged 20-50 who experience normal menstrual cycles accompanied by menstrual pain. These participants will be randomly allocated into two distinct groups. In Group-1, posterior tibial nerve neuroprolotherapy will be administered during the first two menstrual cycles, followed by oral acetaminophen (500mg) for the subsequent two menstrual cycles. Conversely, in Group-2, oral acetaminophen (500mg) will be given during the initial two menstrual cycles, followed by a transition to posterior tibial nerve neuroprolotherapy for the last two menstrual cycles. The primary outcome measure for this trial is the improvement in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes include an assessment of changes in quality of life before and after treatment, as evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire. Furthermore, pulse diagnosis instruments will be employed to analyze alterations in meridian energy before and after treatment.
