Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Visual Analogue Scale (pain intensity)

    Patients will be asked to keep a diary with VAS to determine the severity of pain during menstruation. Patients will be asked to mark their degree of pain on a horizontal line of 100 millimeters (mm). 0: no pain, 10: maximum means more pain than can be tolerated. The point marked on the line will be measured with a ruler and recorded as the pain intensity in cm during the menstruation. Patients will be asked to mark their pain on a separate scale for each day of menstruation. Cases will mark the most severe pain during the day during menstruation on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) during the 3 menstrual cycles in which the study is being conducted.8 weeks of application will be done and 3 cycle will be followed
