Dysmenorrhea affects a significant proportion of premenopausal women, often leading to decreased quality of life and reliance on pharmacological treatments. While conventional treatments are common, they are not always effective and come with a list of unwanted side effects. Evidence suggests that holistic approaches, including yoga and mindfulness practices, may offer pain management alternatives. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to evaluate the impact of yoga poses and mindfulness intervention on menstrual pain severity and treatment response in premenopausal women. A pre-post intervention study was conducted with participants experiencing primary dysmenorrhea. Participants engaged in mindfulness and yoga poses over three menstrual cycles. Pain severity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale at baseline and post-intervention. Data on demographic factors, previous treatment history, and engagement with mindfulness techniques were collected. Participants' adherence to the intervention was also tracked over time. Pain ratings significantly decreased over time, with the most substantial reduction occurring between the initial and second assessments (p < .001). Pain scores dropped from 7.3 to 2.8 among participants who completed all follow-ups. Adherence to mindfulness techniques fluctuated, with most participants practicing several times per week. Additionally, 80% of participants found the intervention feasible and planned to continue incorporating holistic practices into their routines. While the small sample size limits generalizability, findings align with previous research supporting yoga and mindfulness as effective non-pharmacological treatments for dysmenorrhea. The observed pain reduction and patient-reported feasibility suggest clinical significance. Future studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to explore long-term adherence, potential demographic influences on treatment response, and the integration of holistic interventions into routine care. The findings suggest that yoga poses and mindfulness intervention may be a practical and feasible approach to managing dysmenorrhea. Given the low-cost and non-invasive nature of these interventions, incorporating them into standard care protocols could improve menstrual pain management.
