Overview

Randomized clinical trial shows lavender aromatherapy reduces pain intensity in adolescents with dysmenorrhea, suggesting a non-pharmacological approach may be beneficial.

Key Points

  • Lavender aromatherapy significantly reduced dysmenorrhea pain intensity compared to placebo, suggesting effective relief for adolescents.
  • Pain intensity assessed using the NRS scale showed notable improvement after lavender treatment over a two-day period.
  • The trial utilized a double-blind, randomized design with 60 adolescent subjects allocated to treatment and control groups.
  • These findings may support non-pharmacological methods for managing menstrual pain, highlighting a need for broader studies.
