Reduction in four point scale score is the main outcome measure. Results were considered significant with p < 0.05. Statistical analysis was carried out using Chi-Squared test.
RESULTS
In 6 (60%) out of 10 patients four point scale score was reduced to 0, in remaining 4(40%) the four point scale score was reduced to 1. The results were significant at p < 0.001.
Qurs Kafoor showed a significant reduction in four point scale score.
DISCUSSION
The present study observed the efficacy of Qurs Kafoor in alleviating primary dysmenorrhoea. The drugs in the formulation are helpful not only in pain relief, but are also beneficial in relieving the associated symptoms like, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tremulousness etc. It effectively reduced the severity of the primary dysmenorrhoea as assessed by the four point score scale. No studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Qurs Kafoor in the management of primary dysmenorrhoea. The present study is first of its kind in evaluating the effect of Qurs Kafoor in primary dysmenorrhoea.
CONCLUSION
Qurs Kafoor has shown to be effective in the management of primary dysmenorrhoea as assessed by four points score scale. Further trials with larger sample size are required to confirm the efficacy and to elucidate the mode of action.
