More than Just p-Values: Minimal Clinically Important Difference for the Visual Analog Scale, Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire, and Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea in Patients with Primary Dysmenorrhea

This dataset was collected as part of the study titled "More than Just p-Values: Minimal Clinically Important Difference for the Visual Analog Scale, Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire, and Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea in Patients with Primary Dysmenorrhea" and includes data from patients with primary dysmenorrhea (PwPD) between January 15 and July 31, 2025. The data were collected using several clinical measurement tools, including the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ), Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea (FEMD), and Global Rating Change (GRC).The dataset contains variables such as age, body mass index (BMI), age of menarche, cycles length, amount of bleeding, and other clinical outcome measures. This study aims to assess the responsiveness of these scales and to determine their Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values at two different time points: during the 2nd menstrual cycle and during the 3rd menstrual cycle.The data is provided in SPSS .sav format and can be used for secondary purposes, such as creating meta-analyses.The dataset is not publicly available but can be requested from the corresponding author for legitimate research purposes. Please get in touch with [e-mail] for data access.This dataset is limited to PwPD and should be interpreted within this context.

本数据集为题为《不止于p值：原发性痛经患者视觉模拟量表、月经症状问卷及痛经功能与情绪评估量表的最小临床重要差异》的研究的一部分，收录了2025年1月15日至7月31日期间的原发性痛经患者（patients with primary dysmenorrhea, PwPD）数据。数据采集采用了多项临床评估工具，包括视觉模拟量表（Visual Analog Scale, VAS）、月经症状问卷（Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire, MSQ）、痛经功能与情绪评估量表（Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea, FEMD）以及整体变化评分量表（Global Rating Change, GRC）。本数据集包含年龄、体重指数（body mass index, BMI）、初潮年龄、月经周期时长、经量及其他临床结局指标等变量。本研究旨在评估上述量表的反应性，并确定其在两个时间节点（第2个月经周期及第3个月经周期）的最小临床重要差异（Minimal Clinically Important Difference, MCID）数值。数据集以SPSS .sav格式提供，可用于二次研究，例如开展Meta分析。本数据集暂不对外开放，仅可出于合法研究目的向通讯作者申请获取。如需获取数据集，请联系邮箱[e-mail]。本数据集仅适用于PwPD，相关分析与解读需限定于该人群范畴内。
