Description
Seda Yakıt Yeşilyurt and coauthors published a 2026 randomized trial of exercise approaches for primary menstrual pain. Breathing training built on dynamic neuromuscular stabilization may relax the body and ease pain, while pelvic floor muscle training targets the painful region directly. Sixty-six women were assigned to combined training, pelvic floor training alone, or no intervention, meeting weekly for four weeks.
Symptoms, pain character, and quality of life were measured before treatment, right after, and three months later with standard questionnaires. Both training groups improved significantly on menstrual symptom subscales and pain scores from baseline to post-treatment. The trial design lets readers judge whether adding structured breathing to pelvic floor work buys extra benefit, and whether gains survive three months without sessions.
