Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field on primary dysmenorrhea. Forty girls suffering from primary dysmenorrhea were selected from physical therapy department in Matria Teaching hospital in Cairo. Their ages ranged from 20 to 30 years old. They were divided randomly according to enclosed envelope into two groups, equal in number, group (A) which consisted of 20 girls who were treated with pulsed electromagnetic field, 3 times/week for three months. Each session lasted for 30 minutes, in addition to their medical treatment [Mefenamic acid], three times/day for three days during menstruation. group (B) which consisted of 20 girls who received their medical treatment only, three times/day for three days during menstruation. VAS and menstrual distress questionnaire were used for assessment pre and post treatment for both groups (A & B). The results showed that there was a significant decrease in VAS and menstrual distress scores,in both groups (A & B) in favor of group (A). So, it could be concluded that pulsed electromagnetic field was very effective adjunct method in reducing primary dysmenorrhea
