PD is the cramping pain that comes before or during a menstrual period. Relaxation training contributes to the reduction of stress and pain. Thus, there is a need to investigate the effects of relaxation training in dysmenorrhea.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of relaxation training on menstrual pain severity, menstrual symptoms, impact of quality of life, impact of work/academic performance, impact of social activity level and anxiety level in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD) complaints.
