- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of menstrual pain severity on body awareness, physical activity level, and sensory organization in women. Method: Women aged 18-30 years with menstrual pain were included in the study. Participants were divided into three groups as mild (n=47), moderate (n=28) and severe (n=18) menstrual pain-groups according to visual analog scale. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ) were administered to the participants. Somatosensory, visual and vestibular sensory organizations of the participants were analyzed using computerized dynamic posturography. All assessments were administered during menstruation. Results: In terms of BAQ and IPAQ; severe pain-group had lower scores than mild and moderate pain-groups, and moderate pain-group had lower scores than mild pain-group (p<0.05). Severe pain-group had lower antero-posterior somatosensory test values than mild and moderate pain-groups, and moderate pain-group had lower antero-posterior somatosensory test values than mild pain-group (p<0.05). Severe pain-group had lower antero-posterior vestibular test values than mild paingroup (p<0.05). Severe pain-group had lower medio-lateral somatosensory test values than mild and moderate pain-groups (p<0.05). The severe pain-group had lower medio-lateral vestibular test values than the mild pain-group, and the moderate pain-group had lower medio-lateral vestibular test values than the mild pain-group (p<0.05). Conclusion: As the severity of pain increased, BAQ, IPAQ, and somatosensory and vestibular sensory organization results decreased. Preferring physical activity methods that increase body awareness to cope with menstrual pain may provide more effective results in reducing menstrual pain and improving sensory organization.
