The researchers will conduct a study that combines motor imagery with therapeutic exercise in women experiencing menstrual pain. Previous research suggests that motor imagery, when used alongside physical exercise, may help improve motor control and alleviate pain, potentially enhancing outcomes for individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions. Through this study, the investigators aim to explore the effectiveness of these interventions in targeting key variables such as pain perception, motor coordination, and overall quality of life, building on existing evidence of motor imagery's benefits in pain management.

| Motor Imagery Plus Therapeutic Exercise | Behavioral | This group will perform three days of lumbo-pelvic motor control exercise intervention along with a motor imagery intervention program during active breaks between exercises. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Intensity | The main variable is the intensity of menstrual pain, which will be evaluated before, during and after the intervention using a verbal numerical scale (0-10), where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain. | Menstrual pain intensity will be assessed pre-intervention (T0), mid-intervention (T1-day 1, T2-day 2) and Post-intervention (T3-day 3). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Lumbopelvic Motor Control | Lumbopelvic motor control will be assessed by a visual feedback system starting from a pressure of 40 mmHg. | Lumbopelvic motor control will be assessed pre-intervention (T0), mid-intervention (T1-day 1, T2-day 2) and Post-intervention (T3-day 3). |

| Therapeutic Exercise | Behavioral | This group will perform a lumbo-pelvic motor control exercise program for three consecutive days. |
|
| Minimal intervention | Behavioral | This group will carry out a therapeutic counseling and minimal education intervention during a one-day intervention. |
|
Pain sensitivity will be assessed with an algometer using pressure pain thresholds (in various areas, such as the abdomen, lumbar and thiabial region), as well as through conditioned pain modulation. |
| Pain sensitivity will be assessed pre-intervention (T0), mid-intervention (T1-day 1, T2-day 2) and Post-intervention (T3-day 3). |
