Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is recognized as a global public health issue. It can be either primary or secondary and is a common issue among teenagers and women who are fertile. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the Arvigo Mayan abdominal massage on dysmenorrhea intensity among adolescent females. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. Settings: This research took place in three secondary schools in Sirs Al-Layan City: Martyr Pilot Izzat Secondary School, Secondary Joint Developer School, and Sirs Al-Layan Combined Commercial Secondary School. Sample: A purposive sample of 285 adolescent female students was chosen. Instruments: Three instruments were used to gather data including the adolescent female structured interview questionnaire, the menstruation history assessment questionnaire, and a numerical rating scale. Results: The findings indicated many individuals in both study and control groups experienced intense pain prior to the intervention (82.0% and 81.0%, respectively), but only 4.0% and 76.0% of participants in the study group and control group, respectively, experienced severe pain four weeks post-intervention. Moreover, 2.0% of study group individuals and 71.0% of control group participants experienced severe pain eight weeks after the intervention.  Conclusion: Mayan abdominal massage effectively decreases pain intensity in teenage girls with dysmenorrhea. Recommendations: Conduct educational sessions about the significance of Mayan abdominal massage and its ability to alleviate dysmenorrhea symptoms and menstrual pain within the community.
