| Abstract: | Abstract: Background: Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhoea is a symptom characterized by discomfort in the abdomen during menstruation. Acupuncture has been reported to be successful in treating primary dysmenorrhea. Lavender inhalation in Aromatherapy is one of the complementary therapies was effective in alleviating dysmenorrhea symptoms. This study is done to evaluate the combined effect of acupuncture and aromatherapy on individuals with primary dysmenorrhea so that it can be offered as part of the nursing care to women experiencing menstrual cramps or dysmenorrhea. Methods: A total of 10 subjects were recruited who fulfilled the inclusion & exclusion criteria. Pre-assessments were recorded then acupuncture was given on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle, for 10 days where each session will be given for 20 mins and will repeat for 2 consecutive cycles. And Lavender essential oil inhalation was given on the first 3 days of the menstrual cycle for 2 consecutive cycles. Post-assessment was done three times (at 3 cycles). The tools used for screening and data collection are the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Verbal Multidimensional Scoring Scale (VMSS). Result: Shapiro-Wilk’s test/Quantile-Quantile (QQ) plot was used to check the normality of variables. t-test/Welch’s t-test is used for between-group comparison. By one-tailed paired t-test, there was a significant reduction in the mean of pre-post1 VAS which is indicated by p=0.0002 and pre and post2 (p<0.0001), pre and post3 (p<0.000), post1 and post3 (p<0.0001) and also a significant reduction in VMSS when the baseline is compared with post-test 1, 2 and 3 which is indicated by p=0.0003, p<0.000, p<0.0001 respectively. Also, there is a significant reduction in the mean of VMSS when post-test1 is compared to post-test3 with p-value of 0.0018. Conclusion: Our study showed that there was a significant improvement in the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea after acupuncture and aromatherapy for 3 months. Hence acupuncture and aromatherapy can be used as effective combination measures for treating primary dysmenorrhea. |
