About this study

Brief Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of non-pharmacological techniques for managing dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) in adolescents. The study focuses on methods such as Helfer Skin Tap Technique (HSTT) and ShotBlocker, which aim to reduce pain without medication. The goal is to determine how these techniques can help adolescents manage their pain more effectively. The study targets adolescents aged 12-18 who experience menstrual pain. Participants will be monitored over several months to assess the impact of these techniques on their pain levels, emotional well-being, and daily activities. Participation in the study poses minimal risks. However, the effectiveness of these pain management techniques may vary from person to person. By the end of the study, the aim is to improve pain management strategies for adolescents and gain a better understanding of the effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments for dysmenorrhea.
