Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Gamitonggyung-tang on Primary Dysmenorrhea. Methods: We treated 33 cases of primary dysmenorrhea patients with Gamitonggyung-tang for three menstrual cycles. We estimated the effects by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) and checked amount of the analgesics taken during menstrual phase. Results: After treatment, the mean of VAS, MDQ Score and amount of the analgesics taken were decreased. Conclusions: This case shows that Gamitonggyung-tang is effective in treating primary dysmenorrhea patients.
