Abstract:
Cyclic menstrual pain, one of the most common gynecologic complaints, is a crucial issue.
Unfortunately, only limited studies have focused on how to care for the menstrual pain in
adolescents. This paper reports on the effective treatment for menstrual pain to mitigate or
preclude menstrual pain perception, which is non-invasive to patients, in adolescents aged
from 13 to 15 years. The treatment was conducted by positioning the patient in a supine
position. Each patient was guided to take 30 minutes of breathing relaxation techniques.
The use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was intended to measure the subjects’ painfulness
level. This study included 47 respondents whose menstrual pain was monitored in 30
minutes after the intervention. The findings of this study indicate a significant reduction
of patients’ pain. The study suggests that further studies should focus on complementary
treatments for overcoming menstrual pain
