Summary

Dysmenorrhea is defined as the pain and discomfort of women during the menstrual period. Kinesiological taping (KT) and aerobic exercise (AE) are effective methods for dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of KT and AE on pain, attitude, depression, and quality of life in women with dysmenorrhoea. Forty-five women with dysmenorrhea wıll randomly be divided into three groups as KT group (n=15), AE group (n=15) and control group (n=15). In KT Group, 6 sessions of KT will be applied, starting on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle and 2 times per week for 3 weeks until the end of the cycle. In the AE group, walking and climbing stairs will be given during the menstrual cycle, 3 days a week, 45 minutes. No application will be applied to the control group. All groups will be evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Menstrual Attitude Scale (MAS), and Short Form- 36 (SF-36) before and after the intervention.
