Brief summary: PURPOSE:

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of myofascial release on spinal curvature, premenstrual symptoms, and quality of life in scoliotic females with dysmenorrhea

Detailed description: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex 3D structural disorder of the spine seen in children from 10 years old until skeletal maturity and confirmed by a Cobb angle of 10° or more and accompanied by vertebral rotation (Addai et al., 2020). It is the most common types of scoliosis and it is predominantly seen in girls at low curve magnitudes ( LeBauer et al., 2008).

A previous study reported the beneficial effect of myofascial release (MFR) on adults with idiopathic scoliosis (LeBauer et al., 2008). MFR showed a decrease in pain, improved posture, and advancement in quality of life, which may include physical, social, and pulmonary function (las Penas, 2005). HYPOTHESES:

There will be no effect of myofascial release on spinal curvatures, menstrual pain, and quality of life in young scoliotic females with primary dysmenorrhea .

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. All young females have primary dysmenorrhea and idiopathic scoliosis.
2. They are diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis; their trunk rotation and rib hump measured by scoliometer will be more than 5.
3. They will experience pain in abdominal region, back and/or referred to the thigh during menstruation.
4. They experience a regular menstrual cycle
5. Their age will range from 18 to 25 years old.
6. Body mass index (BMI) will range between 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Females who have any pelvic diseases or secondary dysmenorrhea.
2. Females who had received any spinal surgeries.
3. Females with irregular menstrual cycles.
4. History of gynecological interventions and having received manipulative treatment within the 2 months before the beginning of the study.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Assessment of trunk rotation and rib hump by Scoliometer.
timeFrame: Eight weeks.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Premenstrual symptoms were assessed using MSQ questionnaire.
timeFrame: Eight weeks.
measure: Assessment of quality of life by ISYQOL QUESTIONNAIRE (Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) Measuring Spine Related Quality of Life)
