Objectives: To examine the prevalence of myofascial trigger points and association of musculoskeletal changes with dysmenorrhea among college students aged 18-25 years.
Methods: This study comprised of two parts: a cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of musculoskeletal changes and its association with dysmenorrhea and an analytical study evaluated the occurrence of myofascial trigger points in quadratus lumborum and erector spinae muscles during dysmenorrhea. Initially eighty subjects were willing for the study so first they were verbally asked about their menstrual history , inclusion and exclusion criteria were checked , (part1) NPRS score from there past menstrual cycle was asked those with >3 score on NPRS were selected. Around 60 subjects were selected among them for the rest of the study that is evaluation for severity of dysmenorrhea, musculoskeletal changes and myofascial trigger point’s assessment. Result and Conclusion: we found that dysmenorrhea is a very pervasive condition amongst the undergraduate females. The most prevailing menstrual - related complaints were: muscle stiffness, headache, cramps, backache, fatigue and general aches, mood swings and irritability. We found that there is statistical significant difference of primary dysmenorrhea and lower back during last 7 days of menstruation. The results of palpation convincingly portrays that there were active myofasical trigger points found for quadratus lumborum and erector spinae muscles in those females who were suffering with mild/moderate/severe dysmenorrhea.
