The incidence of dysmenorrhoea in the world averages 50% of women in each country experiencing dysmenorrhoea. In Indonesia, dysmenorrhoea causes adolescent girls (59.2%) to experience decreased activity, (5.6%) skip school and (35.2%) do not feel disturbed. Lampung Province in 2020 was quite high with 54.9%. Waykanan County at 88.4%. The purpose of the study was to see the effectiveness of giving red ginger water and warm compresses in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhoea pain in adolescent girls. The implementation time is in September-October 2023 with a population of 811 people in Negeri Agung. The number of research samples was 34 samples with 2 groups. The research method uses a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest research design, data obtained from secondary data and primary data using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) sheets, Univariate and Bivariate data analysis. The results showed that there was a difference in pain intensity before and after ginger water was given with a value of α 0.000 < 0.5 and there was a difference in pain intensity before and after a warm compress with a value of α 0.000 < 0.5. It can be concluded that giving ginger water and warm compresses are equally effective in overcoming dysmenorrhoea with a value of α 0.040 which means < 0.05. There was a decrease in dysmenorrhoea pain after being given red ginger water with an average of 2.36 and a decrease in dysmenorrhoea pain after being given a warm compress with an average of 2.06.

“…In addition, there are various physiotherapy treatments for PD pain which do not appear to have adverse effects and are usually well tolerated by patients; they include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy (TENS) [13][14][15], manual therapy [16,17], acupuncture [18,19], cryotherapy [20] and therapeutic exercise [4,[21][22][23], which has shown positive results [24].…”

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a painful menstruation that can persist for the duration of a woman’s fertile life. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormonal therapy, physiotherapy techniques, etc., are the main treatments. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in PD patients. The study will consist of a single-blind randomized clinical trial, parallel-assigned with two arms. Women with PD (18–43 years) with regular menstrual cycles and at least 4 points in VAS will be randomly divided into experimental (TTNS) and placebo (simulated stimulation) groups during 12 treatment sessions (1 session/week) and several follow-ups: monthly during treatment and 1, 3 and 6 months after. Maximum and mean pain intensity, pain duration, pain severity, number of anti-inflammatory drugs, quality of life, sleep quality, overall improvement, treatment satisfaction and secondary effects will be measured once a month every 6 months and at 3 and 6 months. The Student’s t-test for independent samples or the Mann–Whitney U test will be used. The literature shows effective physiotherapeutic techniques for PD in the short term, which do not act on causes and have limitations. The TTNS technique can be used in transcutaneous and percutaneous modalities, with similar effectiveness, but the transcutaneous causes less discomfort. TTNS modulates pain, and long-term benefits could be achieved at low cost and without patient discomfort.
