Summary

This study tests whether a technique called Doppler-guided angiopuncture can safely reduce pain in women with primary dysmenorrhea (period pain). Researchers will perform the needle procedure on 30 participants and measure pain changes using a standard pain scale. The goal is to see if this approach offers a new way to manage menstrual cramps without medication.
