Abstract

Background and Objective:‌One of the most common complications of IUD users is dysmenorrhea, which is not the same in different IUDs. The aim of this study was to compare the dysmenorrhea in IUD multi-load 375 and IUD copper T 380 A.
Material and Methods: ‌‌A randomized double- blinded controlled clinical trial was conducted on 48 women referring to a health-center ‌in Tabriz, from 2011jan-2012 oct.The participants ‌were randomly allocated to two groups of multi-load 375 IUD and the copper T 380A IUD ( located in a four-member and six-member block).We measured the amount of dysmenorrhea with Visual Analog Scale , before the IUD insertion and four mouths later. The data was analyzed by SPSS-13, using Mann-Whitney, Regression, Fridmans test.
Results: The results showed that the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea in two groups of IUD were significantly different, considering ‌the factors such as the baseline dismenorrhea‌, the utilized drug and the interval between the last labor and IUD insertion.The dysmenorrhea in multi-load group was decreased and in copper T increased significantly.
Conclusion: Based on the results , multi-load IUD results in considerable reduction in the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is reccomended counseling about both multi-load IUD and Copper T in the family planning service centers.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common complaints among women in reproductive age in that about half of young women suffer from dysmenorrhea. Nowadays, many people have a tendency to use a traditional medicine for dysmenorrhea. Hence, we aimed to compare the analgesic effect of Agnogol and Mefenamic acid in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. 

Material and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 44 women with primary dysmenorrhea referred to Hajar hospital in Shahrekord. The participants were randomly allocated to two groups of Agnogol (n=23) to use one 3.2 mg Agnogol pill for three times a day and Mefenamic Acid (n=21) to use 250 mg Mefenamic acid every 8 hours a day for three days. The pain severity was detected by Visual Analogue Scale. We used Independent and Paired t test for comparing the means of quantitative variables and Chi Square for qualitative variables ( P<0.05 ). 
Results: Considering age, menstrual duration, menstrual interval, and pain severity score, there was no significant difference in two groups at the beginning of the study (P>0.05). After intervention, a significant reduction was found in the mean of pain score over time in both Agnogol (P<0.001) and Mefenamic acid (P<0.001) groups, but the difference between two groups was not significant (P>0.05). 
Conclusion: Given the same effect of Agnogol in mitigating dysmenorrhea, we recommend it as an appropriate alternative for Mefenamic acid.

Abstract

Background: Young women, especially those with disabilities suffering from primary dysmenorrhea (PD), should be a cause for concern, as it negatively affects both their physical and mental health, as well as their future productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing audio-educational measures on the severity of PD among blind female students.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at 2 schools for blind females in Egypt in 2022. The sample consisted of 40 blind female students who were selected randomly. The WaLIDD (working ability, location, intensity, days of pain, dysmenorrhea) scale was used to assess the degree of dysmenorrhea, while the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) was used to evaluate their physical and mental well-being. The intervention program involved audio education sessions designed to improve their health, education, and skills, as well as reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea. These audio education sessions took place twice a week, with each session lasting 45 minutes for a duration of 3 months. Data analysis was performed using chi-square and paired sample t tests at a significance level of α = 0.05.
Results: The average age of the participants was 15.5 ± 1.91 years. The findings showed that the implementation of the audio-educational intervention led to a significant reduction in the severity of dysmenorrhea symptoms, significant increase in general knowledge, and significant improvements in the physical and mental health of the participants (P < 0.001). Listening training was a positive and significant predictor for the health status of blind female students (ß = 0.614; P = 0.028), while the severity of dysmenorrhea was a significant negative predictor for their health status (ß = -0.046; P = 0.05).
Conclusion: The use of audio-educational measures is an effective strategy for increasing knowledge, practice, and health status while reducing the severity of dysmenorrhea among blind female students. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses educate blind teenage girls about menstruation and standard menstrual care to reduce dysmenorrhea and enhance their overall health. Additionally, dysmenorrhea and its management strategies should be included in school curricula for females.
