Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of kinesio tape versus TENS on primary dysmenorrhoea. Thirty females complained from primary dysmenorrhoea (diagnosed by gynecologist). They were selected from outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy, Cairo University. Their ages ranged from 17 to 22 years old and their body mass index ranged from 25 to 30 kg/m2. They were divided into two groups equal in number, group (A) treated by kinesio tape, while group (B) treated by TENS. Menstrual pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale and menstrual distress questionnaire before and after performing Kinesio Tape and TENS sessions for 3 months. The obtained results showed a statistically significant decrease in menstrual pain after the application of kinesio tape and TENS sessions (P<0.05). The results showed that there is non significant difference between kinesio tape and TENS in treating primary dysmenorrhoea (P>0.05). So that, it could be concluded that kinesio tape had similar effect as TENS in decreasing pain in primary dysmenorrhoea.
