Abstract

Although nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can alleviate menstrual pain, about 18% of women with dysmenorrhea are unresponsive, leaving them and their physicians to pursue less well-studied strategies. The goal of this review is to provide a background for treating menstrual pain when first-line options fail. Research on menstrual pain and failure of similar drugs in the antiplatelet category suggested potential mechanisms underlying nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug resistance. Based on these mechanisms, alternative options may be helpful for refractory cases. This review also identifies key pathways in need of further study to optimize menstrual pain treatment., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

In a group of 129 dysmenorrheics, of whom 84 suffered from primary dysmenorrhea, and 45 from secondary dysmenorrhea, treatment by special exercises was followed by definite relief in 84.5 per cent of the cases. In many instances, the beneficial effect lasted for at least twenty-months, which was the limit of the follow-up period in this investigation. Within the subgroup of those afflicted with primary dysmenorrhea, the percentage of alleviation was 89.3.
