These patients were recruited through simple random sampling only to refrain from biasness. Patients were enrolled according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: In current study, among 82 patients almost 31 will undoubtedly and 31 will most likely suggest manual therapy treatment to people close to them. While the remaining 20 participants did not show any interest of suggesting this therapy. 37.80% participants showed more satisfaction towards manual therapy treatment and close association found between patient satisfaction and experience of physical therapist. Patients showed higher level of satisfaction when treatment was done by experienced skilled Physical Therapist.

Evidence tells that inactive lifestyle as well as poor diet is main reason of primary dysmenorrheal as well as women who exercise have a reduced incidence of dysmenorrhea. Objectives: To find the effectiveness of high intensity aerobics and pelvic clock exercises in primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: The study design was randomized control trials. Purposive sampling technique was used. Girls aged 17–24 years with regular menstrual cycle and unmarried girls were included. Athletes, married women with gynecological abnormalities were excluded. A structured 8 weeks’ program (3 days in a week, 1hour per day) was given to Group A including set of London bridges (8 mins), Jumping lunges (8 mins), Mountain climbers (8 mins), Quadruped bent knee hip extension (8 mins), Warm up 10 minutes, 25 minutes for high intensity aerobics. Group B were assigned 25 minutes for Pelvic clock exercises (gradually increased during with weeks) performed from 12 to 6 o’clock, as instructed to move from 3 o clock to 9 o clock. Then movement in a clockwise manner from 12 to 3 to 6 to 9 and then back to 12 o’ clock.
