Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

The severity of menstrual pain assessed with Visual Analog Scale [An average of 2 weeks]
A 10-cm Visual Analog Scale anchored from zero (no pain at all) to 10 (the worst pain I have ever felt) was used to determine the severity of each subject's menstrual pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The complaints related to menstruation will be evaluated by a form prepared by the researchers [An average of 2 weeks]
The form assessing the complaints related to menstruation will be evaluated existing complaints affect the patient and expressed as, no, little, mederate, very.
The level of anxiety will be evaluated with The Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory [An average of 2 weeks]
The Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory is a 40-item self-report inventory designed to measure both state anxiety section (current feelings of apprehension, worry, etc.) and trait anxiety section (continuous feelings of apprehension, worry, etc.). Each section is scored on four levels of anxiety intensity from 1="not at all" to 4="very much" and with a sum score between 20 and 80. A higher total score indicates more severe anxiety level.
