What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a 'Music Medicine Application' in alleviating menstrual symptoms among female students at Pamukkale University. It is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest control group, involving 62 participants divided equally between an experimental group and a control group. Data will be collected using various scales and analyzed statistically to determine the impact of music on menstrual pain and discomfort. The study will take place from March 2024 to February 2025.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are female students with regular menstrual cycles who are not using hormonal contraceptives or pain relief medications.
Not a fit: Patients with chronic diseases, serious medical conditions, or those currently using painkillers or hormonal treatments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a non-pharmacological method for managing menstrual symptoms, improving quality of life for many women.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of music therapy has shown promise in various contexts, this specific application for menstrual symptom relief is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
