        abstract = {Background: Primary dysmenorrhoea is defined as painful menstruation without underlying pelvic pathology. It is one of the most common gynecological complaints among adolescent girls, with a global prevalence ranging from 45%–95%, and 70%–90% specifically in adolescents [1,2]. The condition significantly affects physical comfort, emotional well-being, academic performance, and overall quality of life. Conventional treatment such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and oral contraceptive pills provides symptomatic relief but prolonged use may cause adverse effects including gastric irritation and hormonal imbalance [3,4].
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Jonosia Asoka in cases of primary dysmenorrhoea using the WaLIDD score.
Methods: A prospective experimental pilot study was conducted at Rajkot Homoeopathic Medical College Hospital. Fourteen nulliparous girls (up to 19 years of age) diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhoea were selected through random sampling. Baseline and post-treatment severity were assessed using the WaLIDD score.
Results: Out of 14 patients, 71.4% showed marked improvement, 21.4% moderate improvement, and 7.1% minimal improvement. Significant reduction was observed in pain intensity, duration, and functional disability.
Conclusion: Jonosia Asoka appears to be a safe and effective homoeopathic remedy in the management of primary dysmenorrhoea. Larger controlled studies are recommended.},
