Brief summary: Evaluation of sacroiliac joint dysfunction in young women with primary dysmenorrhoea using joint provocation and mobility tests and spinal mobility using Spinal Mouse and investigation of the relationship between primary dysmenorrhoea, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and spinal mobility.

Detailed description: Dysmenorrhoea is defined as pathological symptoms associated with menstruation, manifested by abdominal cramps and pain during menstruation and interfering with social life. The pain is of uterine origin and is one of the most common gynaecological disorders in women of childbearing age. It is divided into two types as primary dysmenorrhoea and secondary dysmenorrhoea.

Primary dysmenorrhoea is the most common form and is characterised by cramping pelvic pain that begins shortly before or at the onset of menstruation and lasts for one to three days. It usually begins during puberty and manifests itself with painful menstruation in women with normal pelvic anatomy.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is thought to be caused by different causes such as sacroiliac strain, sacroiliac instability and sacroiliac arthritis. One of the distinguishing features is local tenderness in the sacroiliac joint.

There are limited number of studies showing the relationship between sacroiliac joint dysfunction and menstrual cycle. Studies have shown that osteopathic manual therapy techniques applied to the pelvis are effective in alleviating the severity of primary dysmenorrhoea. At the same time, researchers have reported that mobilisation applied to the lumbopelvic regions is good for menstrual pain. Thus, it can be said that mobility is important in primary dysmenorrhoea.
