Summary

This study tests whether a comfort theory-based education program can help university students with primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods) feel better. The program involves three face-to-face sessions over three months, each lasting 40 minutes. Researchers will compare pain levels, menstrual symptoms, and well-being between students who receive the education and those who do not.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Comfort Theory-Based Education (a structured educational program delivered face-to-face in three 40-minute sessions over three months)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help young women manage period pain and related symptoms.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, and the education may not reduce pain more than no intervention. Results may not apply to all women.
