Effects of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) in Individuals with Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This dataset was collected as part of the study titled "Effects of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) in Individuals with Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial" and includes data from patients with primary dysmenorrhea (PwPD) between November 2023 and January 2024. The data were collected using several clinical measurement tools, including the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ), the Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea (FEMD), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), the 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS).The dataset contains variables such as age, body mass index (BMI), age of menarche, cycles length, amount of bleeding, and other clinical outcome measures. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of taVNS on pain perception, functional and emotional symptoms related to dysmenorrhea, and physical performance in PwPD.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.
