A study shows: Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra (ARP) can improve heart rate variability and menstrual complaints in dysmenorrhea. Significant progress in pain reduction!
(Symbolbild/natur.wiki)

primary dysmenorrhea (PD) refers to painful menstrual cycles, which often lead to reduced performance and quality of life in young adults. This pain typically occurs during the first days of menstruation and can lead to considerable physical and emotional stress. In a recent study, the effectiveness of a naturalopathic lifestyle program called Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra (ARP) was examined in young women with PD.

In this study, 52 young women between the ages of 16 and 25 were divided into two groups. One group practiced the ARP program over a period of two months, while the other group retained their usual lifestyle. During the examination, heart rate variability (HRV), pain intensity and quality of life of the participants were measured. The results showed that the ARP program led to an improvement in certain health parameters, especially in the "High Frequency" (HF) component of heart rate variability, a reduction in weight and a reduction in pain intensity.

The improvements in the HRV indicate that the ARP program could positively influence the autonomous nervous system, which in turn could mean less menstrual pain. The reduction in pain intensity and weight could also contribute to increasing well -being. While there were no significant changes in some measured areas such as quality of life or daily fatigue, the study nevertheless showed that ARP can represent a potential management option for PD.

In the future, the use of naturalopathic lifestyle therapies such as ARP could be increasingly considered when treating PD, especially if conventional treatments do not provide the desired results or undesirable side effects occur. Since the number of study participants was relatively low, however, further research with larger number of cases is necessary to confirm these results and to finally define the role of ARP in the pain treatment of PD.

Basic terms and concepts

  • primary dysmenorrhea (PD): painful menstrual cycles without recognizable organic cause that often occur in young women.
  • Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra (ARP): A lifestyle program that is based on naturopathic principles and aims to relieve health problems through natural practices.
  • Heart frequency variability (HRV): A measure of variation at intervals between consecutive heartbeats, which gives an indication of the balance in the autonomous nervous system.
  • high frequency (HF): A specific area of ​​the HRV, which is often associated with the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for calm and digestion.
  • Visual analogous scale (VAS): A tool for evaluating pain intensity, in which participants indicate how much their pain is on a scale from "no pain" to "the strongest imaginable pain".

abbreviations

  • pd: primary dysmenorrhea
  • arp: arogya rakshak panchatantra
  • HRV: heart frequency variability
  • HF: high frequency
  • vas: visual analog scale

Effectiveness of Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra in primary dysmenorrhea

The present study examines the effectiveness of the Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra (ARP), a naturopathic way of lifestyle, in young women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Research was carried out as an open, parallel, randomized controlled study and comprised 52 young women aged 16 to 25.

Study structure and methodology

The participants were randomly divided into two groups: the ARP group, which practiced the ARP module for two months, and the control group, who retained their usual lifestyle. The primary measurement size was the change in heart rate variability (HRV). Secondary measurements included menstrual symptoms, quality of life, pain sensation and daily fatigue. These were rated at the beginning of the study and during the first three menstrual cycles in both groups. To evaluate the feasibility, self -reported symptoms, emotions, undesirable events, calorie intake and compliance with the intervention were also monitored.

results

In the intervention group, significant improvements in the high frequency range of the HRV (p = 0.007) as well as reductions in weight (p = 0.017) were observed, in the pain sensation on the visual analog scale (p = 0.000) and in retrospective symptom scale (p <0.011). There were no significant changes in other HRV metrics, quality of life or daily fatigue. The participants reported slight symptoms such as headaches, cold, body pain, diarrhea, constipation, fever and weakness, but no serious undesirable events occurred.

conclusions

This study is the first research that examines the long -term effects of ARP on young women with PD. The results indicate that ARP could be an effective and feasible management option. Nevertheless, further research with larger samples is required to confirm these findings.
