Primary dysmenorrhea starts simultaneously with menstruation or before it and usually continues for 48-72 h. As a prevalence disorder, it affects about 80-97% of women in the reproductive age. The conventional treatment modalities of primary dysmenorrhea are associated with complications and side effects. In addition, there is a lack of knowledge of the effect of honey on the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of honey on the severity of pain in women with dysmenorrhea.
A randomized crossover clinical trial was conducted on 56 female students. Subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. Groups I and II received honey and mefenamic acid in the 'first treatment period', respectively. In the 'second treatment period', the intervention methods were reversed between the groups. Samples recorded the severity of pain during the first 3 days of menstruation.
There were no significant differences in the most severe level of pain in the first and second months of the first treatment period, and the first and second months of the second treatment period between the groups.
Honey and the mefenamic acid capsules led to the same amount of pain relief in women with primary dysmenorrhea. Honey is suggested to be used for pain relief due to its lower side effects and pharmacological complications.
原发性痛经在月经开始时或之前同时出现，通常持续48 - 72小时。作为一种常见疾病，它影响着约80 - 97%的育龄女性。原发性痛经的传统治疗方式存在并发症和副作用。此外，对于蜂蜜治疗原发性痛经的效果缺乏了解。本研究的目的是调查蜂蜜对痛经女性疼痛严重程度的影响。
对56名女学生进行了一项随机交叉临床试验。受试者被随机分为两组。第一组和第二组在“第一个治疗期”分别接受蜂蜜和甲芬那酸。在“第二个治疗期”，两组的干预方法互换。样本记录了月经前3天的疼痛严重程度。
在第一个治疗期的第一个月和第二个月，以及第二个治疗期的第一个月和第二个月，两组之间最严重疼痛程度没有显著差异。
蜂蜜和甲芬那酸胶囊对原发性痛经女性的止痛效果相同。由于蜂蜜副作用和药理并发症较低，建议使用蜂蜜来缓解疼痛。
