Sponsor's own description

The effect of warm-water footbath in improving primary dysmenorrhea (PD) was rarely investigated previously. We aimed to exam the hypothesis that warm-water footbath is effective to reduce the pain of PD, and the effect is associated with changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. The quasi-experimental study was carried out enrolling 68 college students) with PD. The enrolled participants were randomized into two groups and received interventions (footbath (n=35) versus sitting only (n=33)) for 20 minutes per day on their menstruation days 1 and 2. After the interventions, we analyzed the association among intervention (with footbath versus without footbath), heart rate variability (HRV) changes and changes of pain scales (Pain Visual Analog Scale and short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire).
