“…Oregano extract at 800 mg/kg induced an impressive 97.83% inhibition, surpassing that of tramadol. Similarly, thyme extract at 800 mg/kg achieved a significant 90.54% inhibition; these results corroborate earlier studies on oregano and thyme extracts, reaffirming their pronounced efficacy in alleviating pain [34][35][36][37][38].…”

Origanum grosii (L.) and Thymus pallidus (L.) are medicinal plants recognized for their uses in traditional medicine. In this context, the aim of this article is to highlight the results of a phytochemical analysis (HPLC), with particular emphasis on the antioxidant (DPPH, TAC, and FRAP), analgesic, anti-inflammatory, haemagglutinin-test-related, and hemolytic activities of the total extracts of these plants. Phytochemical analysis via HPLC revealed that licoflavone C (30%) is the main compound in Origanum grosii, while hesperidin (43%) is found in T. pallidus. Evaluation of the antioxidant capacity of Origanum grosii and Thymus pallidus using the DPPH, TAC, and FRAP methods revealed an IC50 of the order of 0.085 mg/mL and 0.146 mg/mL, an EC50 of the order of 0.167 mg/mL and 0.185 mg/mL, and a total antioxidant capacity of between 750 mg EQ/g and 900 mg EQ/g, respectively. Analgesic evaluations revealed writhes inhibition of the order of 97.83% for O. grosii and 90% for T. pallidus. In addition, both plant extracts showed limited hemolytic activity, not exceeding 30% at a concentration of 100 mg/mL. Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory potential showed edema inhibition of the order of 94% (800 mg/kg) for O. grosii and 86% (800 mg/kg) for T. pallidus. These results highlight the potential applications of these extracts in pharmacological research.

“…18 According to a study conducted in Ethiopia, 69.26% of participants there reported having dysmenorrhea, which supports the ndings of the current study. 19 Our study found no significant dierence in QOL between the groups with and without dysmenorrhea; the good QOL in the dysmenorrhea group was 59.4%, while the bad QOL was 71.4%. These ndings are almost identical to those of a study conducted in 2019 at a university in Spain.…”

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dysmenorrhea and its effects on quality of life of nursing students at a nursing school. METHODOLOGY A descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out at one nursing school in Peshawar, Pakistan. A sum of 179 student nurses participated in this research. Censes method was used following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Approval for conducting this study was obtained from Ethics Review Board of Khyber Medical University. Data was collected by pre tested validated questionnaire WHOQOL BREF scale. SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the data. RESULTS The participants average age was 25.58 years. The majority (60.3%) of the participants reported having Dysmenorrhea. A great portion (63.5%) of respondents reported Dysmenorrhea in age group 18-25 years. 63.4% Participants reported Dysmenorrhea among unmarried participants. Participants with Dysmenorrhea had scores in the Generic BSN, PRN, and MSN education categories of 78(64.5%), 21(48.8%), and 9(60%) respectively. There was no correlation between dysmenorrhea and QOL (p-value =.377). CONCLUSION Dysmenorrhea is quite prevalent among nursing students, along with severe lower abdomen pain, however there is no correlation between dysmenorrhea and Quality of Life.

“…However, there was a statistically significant increase in severe dysmenorrhea among women who did not consume fruits. Zeru et al 16 in a case control study found that thyme tea-drinking, consumption of vegetables and fruits had a relieving effect while coffee drinking was positively associated with primary dysmenorrhea. In a study conducted in Kuwait involving a similar ethnicity to ours, Al-Matouq et al 17 found that there was a significant association between drinking coffee and dysmenorrhea.…”

Background Primary dysmenorrhea is a common and often debilitating, gynaecological condition. Objective To investigate the effects of specific lifestyle variables on the prevalence and severity of primary dysmenorrhea. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study of Jordanian women aged between 18–25 years old utilized a questionnaire as the main instrument of the study. Results Primary dysmenorrhea was reported by 660 women out of 1988. It was found that approximately two thirds of them were students. Overall, 54.5% of the participants reported severe dysmenorrhea. A statistically significant correlation was found between severe dysmenorrhea and smoking at p value ˂0.001, sleeping less than 7 hours per 24 hours at p = 0.005, holding a university degree at p = 0.032, non-alcohol consumption at p = 0.044, frequent energy, fizzy, tea, coffee drinks and sugar intake. Interestingly, we found that severe dysmenorrhea was statistically significantly associated with women who never eat meat at p ˂0.001, cereals and fish consumers and with those who take less than 3 servings of fruit or none at all per week at p = 0.006. In addition to the previous variables, water intake of less than 1.0 litre a day, irregular cycles, non-OCP use and positive family history were found significantly associated with severe dysmenorrhea. Severe dysmenorrhea was significantly related to working less hours per week, higher stress level and longer bleeding duration at p = 0.021, 0.017 and 0.008, respectively. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference found between severe dysmenorrhea and the following variables: age, body mass index (BMI), weekly studying hours and age of menarche. Conclusion Primary dysmenorrhea is prevalent in the Jordanian population. To overcome severe dysmenorrhea, women should increase their intake of fish and fresh fruits, drinking water and use of oral contraceptive pills. The study concluded that smoking, frequent sugar intake, fizzy drinks, coffee, tea and energy drinks were associated with severe dysmenorrhea. It is also worth mentioning that alcohol consumption had a positive impact on dysmenorrhea. Trial Registration Registered in Clinicaltrial.gov (ID: NCT04583943).
