Brief summary
The high incidence of menstrual pain in the female population and its impact on the level of quality of life of said population, as well as the socio-economic impact, justifies the search for complementary therapies. It was a randomized clinical trial. The objective of this study is to assess the immediate and short-term effectiveness of the physiotherapeutic intervention through the application of a kinesiotaping lymphatic technique on the hypogastric and pulsatile shortwave region on the first day of the period in women diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea.
Interventions
A clinical study, with double blind masking (evaluator and patient). The sample size was 40 women with a previous diagnosis of primary dysmenorrhea. It was randomly divided into two homogeneous groups, to the experimental group A (Bandage Group (GV)) a VNM lymphatic technique was applied to physioterapist in the hypogastric region that it maintained for three days.

A clinical study, with double blind masking (evaluator and patient). The sample size was 40 women with a previous diagnosis of primary dysmenorrhea. It was randomly divided into two homogeneous groups, to the experimental group A (Bandage Group (GV)) a VNM lymphatic technique was applied to physioterapist in the hypogastric region that it maintained for three days. The technique performed was the octopus technique bilaterally on the hypogastric region with the patient supine, placing the base on the upper edge of the pubic symphysis and directing the strips without tension obliquely towards the homolateral flank, keeping the patient lying down for 20 minutes after application . The patient was instructed to wear it for three consecutive days and inform if there was any problem with the bandage The strategy used to monitor compliance with the intervention was carried out by interview Data were taken on abdominal pain, low back pain, pressure pain threshold (UDP) in the right, left and spinous sacro-iliac of L5, before the intervention, after 20 minutes and 24 hours after the intervention. They were given a menstrual pain questionnaire before the intervention and on the first day of the period of the following month.
