ABSTRACT
Because of importance and outbreak of dysmenorrhea and Its effect on life of 50% of population in the world[women], this study was done. To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Stachys lvandulifolia on fatigue, nausea, and vomiting associated with primary dysmenorrhea. This was a randomized clinical trial performed on 50 women aged 18-25 years and 50-60 kg whight suffering from primary dysmenorrhea. Fatigue, nausea, and vomiting were evaluated by visual analogue scale [VAS]. Initially, the study population was requested to consume the Stachys lvandulifolia flowers at a dose of 10 gr of brewed powder three time a day and for a total of 5 days [2 days before pain to 3 days after pain], based on a common traditional administration. Later, the members of both groups were followed up for three cycles. Fatigue, nausea, and vomiting as well as the side-effects were evaluated following consumption of brewed powder of Stachys lvandulifolia flowers. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test and chi-square test. Following consumption of Stachys lvandulifolia the level of fatigue considerably reduced among test group and the difference was significant [p=0/000], statistically. Likewise, a significant difference in severity of nausea between the test and control groups was shown [p=0/006]. No statistically significant difference regarding the severity of vomiting was established between two groups. According to our data, it could be concluded that the use of Stachys lvandulifolia, based on a traditional administration, causes favorable therapeutic effects by reducing the degree of fatigue and nausea in primary dysmenorrhea with no obvious side-effect yet with no effect on vomiting
