        abstract = {Aim: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of yoga techniques in reducing dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in selected schools.
Objectives: To assess the level of dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls in the experimental and control groups before the intervention. To evaluate the effectiveness of yoga techniques in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls in the experimental group. To compare the post-test pain scores between the experimental and control groups. To determine the association between the level of dysmenorrhea pain and selected demographic and clinical variables.
Methodology: A quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was adopted. The study was conducted among 60 adolescent girls aged 13–18 years from selected schools. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and equally allocated to experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. Baseline pain levels were assessed using the WaLIDD Scale. The experimental group received selected yoga techniques for 15–30 minutes daily during the first three days of menstruation over the intervention period, whereas the control group received routine care without any intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The findings revealed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls in the experimental group following the yoga intervention compared with the control group. The post-test mean pain score of the experimental group was significantly lower than the pre-test score, indicating that yoga techniques were effective in reducing menstrual pain. A significant association was also observed between dysmenorrhea pain and selected demographic and clinical variables.
Conclusion: The study concluded that yoga techniques are an effective, safe, economical, and non-pharmacological intervention for reducing dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Regular practice of yoga can improve menstrual health, decrease pain intensity, reduce school absenteeism, and enhance the quality of life of adolescent girls. The findings support the incorporation of yoga into school health programmes and nursing practice for menstrual pain management.},
