Methods: Participated in the study 63 women between 18-26 years old who reported pain equal to or greater than 5 on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Of these, only 21 effectively participated in the study, and were divided into 3 groups: Control Group that did not receive intervention (7), MTC Group (6) treated with therapeutic massage and Kinesio Taping group (8) that received application of the resource in the lower abdomen and low back. For evaluation, the VAS for pain was used, questionnaire for the influence of pain on ADLs, and the Visual Analog Sleep Scales for sleep quality.

There was no statistical difference in sleep assessment between the control and treatment months, but in the analysis between groups, Kinesio Taping was superior (p = 0.03).
