This study is looking to test a non-compressive semiconductor embedded body sleeve for treatment of primary dysmenorrhea symptoms. Dysmenorrhea is the lower abdominal pain (sometimes referred to as "cramping") experienced during menstruation (monthly "period"), affecting up to 94% of people aged from 10-20 years old. The semiconductor embedded fabric increases blood circulation through activation of the embedded elements with body heat while worn and releases energy waves as well as negative ions. This energy has an effect inside the body that increases oxygen and nutrient flow to tissues, and can help to decrease pain and inflammation. This study is testing this technology to see if it can be used as a non-pharmacological treatment for menstrual cramping.
