BackgroundResearch interest in the topic of complementary interventions to treat menstrual pain is increasing. In future research, researchers need information about trends and new things on complementary interventions to treat menstrual pain.PurposeThe research aims to determine trends in the number of publications, journals with the highest number of publications, which fields receive the most publication permits, network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization on complementary topics related to intervention dealing with menstrual pain.MethodsA search for publications on trends in complementary interventions to treat primary menstrual pain in adolescents resulted in 23,935 articles, four grants, 2,427 patents, and 42 clinical trials. After filtering through specified criteria, the number of articles obtained was 3,214, 249 patents, and 19 clinical trials.ResultsA search for publications on trends in complementary interventions to treat primary menstrual pain in adolescents resulted in 23,935 articles, four grants, 2,427 patents, and 42 clinical trials. After filtering through criteria such as publication year, research categories, publication type, published between 2018-2023, focus in the field of Health sciences, nursing, public health, clinical sciences, and article publication type were included as inclusion criteria of this study. The study obtained 3,214 articles, 249 patents, and 19 clinical trials. The peak of publications regarding trends in complementary interventions to treat primary menstrual pain in adolescents occurred in 2018. Meanwhile, the lowest number was in 2023. Research on complementary intervention trends to overcome primary menstrual pain in adolescents is in medicine, public health, nursing, and other fields such as trade management, tourism and services, human society, law, and legal studies. In addition, there is currently a trend for complementary therapy interventions to treat menstrual pain. Complementary therapies that are still rarely researched are progressive muscle relaxation therapy or herbal ginger to ease menstrual pain.Apart from that, progressive muscle relaxation therapy can also be used to treat anxiety in teenagers who experience menstrual pain, or the ginger herb has rarely been researched to treat menstrual pain.ConclusionTrends regarding complementary therapy interventions to treat menstrual pain need a review to find relevant alternative interventions for adolescent development and current digital developments. It is suggested that the next researcher choose a low visualization category theme to look for novelties in further research, one of which is ginger herbal therapy to overcome menstrual pain or interventions to overcome adolescent anxiety when experiencing menstrual pain.

However, caution was urged in recommending specific doses and durations of ginger treatment to relieve menstrual pain in light of the heterogeneity of outcomes among trials and shortcomings of available studies 52,53,92 . The effect of ginger administration on heavy menstrual bleeding cannot be generalized based on one RCT 93 …”

“…There is evidence that oral administration of ginger can significantly lessen the severity but not the duration of the pain of primary dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), compared with controls. 11,12,[51][52][53][54]92 Moreover, ginger appears to be similar in efficacy to other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug analgesics in relieving menstrual pain. It was suggested that ginger may be a potential adjunct treatment for women unable to use conventional medications.…”

The spice ginger is prepared from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale (Rosc.) belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The unique aromas and flavors of the many cultivars make them suited for multiple food-related purposes. Besides being used in the preparation of pickles, candies, gingerbread, biscuits, soups, puddings, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks, ginger and its extracts are also packaged in dietary supplements. Ginger has been a part of traditional medicine for thousands of years treating such ailments as gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, pain, cold, and asthma. In the past 10 to 15 years, a considerable number of preclinical and clinical studies have explored in more detail the potential of ginger to ameliorate diverse conditions such as nausea and vomiting, glycemic dysfunction, pain, and the metabolic syndrome. This narrative review provides an update on the clinical evidence related to potential benefits of ginger and discusses future research opportunities.
