Dysmenorrhea: An aeromedical clinical practice guideline

This capstone proposes a clinical practice guideline on the management of dysmenorrhea, with attention to the occupational aspects of disease and treatment within the aviation community. This evidence based clinical practice guideline was developed through a systematic review of the literature with consideration of the physiological and operational aspects of the flight environment. Dysmenorrhea can have a significant impact on United States civil and military flight crews. A standardized aeromedical guideline can benefit flight crew members as well as the aeromedical community who cares for them.
