Brief Summary  
Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynaecological problem consisting of painful
cramps accompanying menstruation, without any evident pathology to account to it.
The uterus is induced to contract frequently and disrhythmically, with increased basal
tone and increased active pressure. The disease occurs in up to 50% of menstruating
females and causes significant disruption in quality of life in 20%, resulting in non-
attendance at work or school (1-4). The available treatment for this are nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs and oral contraceptive pills OCPs which are often associated
with adverse events (AEs). So many patients avoid taking them, and seek for other
non-pharmaceutical alternatives.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), working on Gate control theory,
is an established method for pain relief in various chronic conditions such as arthritis,
back pain etc. This method offers a potential non-pharmaceutical alternative therapy
for dysmenorrhea. It has been used in few research projects but is still not widely used
for this indication (5-8).
