Abstract

Usre Tams (Dysmenorrhea) is the most common of gynecologic complaints. It affects half of all female adolescents today and represents the leading cause of periodic college/school absenteeism among that population. Since ancient times, hijamat bila shurt (Dry cupping) is a method of treatment for this disease. Therefore, objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the efficacy of hijamat bilas shurt on intensity of pain in Usre Tams by using verbal multi-dimensional scoring system. It was conducted from November 2011 to November 2012 on 40 patients in A&U Tibbia College Karol Bagh. Patients suffering from primary dysmenorrhoea with regular cycles, age group 15-40years were selected. For dry cupping, six cups of medium size were applied around the umbilicus for 10 minutes on alternate days for two cylces and pain intensity was assessed by verbal multi-dimensional scoring system for pain before and after the treatment. . Effect of cupping on pain during periods was reduced and was stastically significant. The Mean and Standard Error Mean for pain intensity before and after the treatment was 8.75 (1.06) and 3.45 (1.79) respectively with P<0.001
