Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai is a Thai traditional herbal drug for pain treatment. Mostly it was used for antipain during menstruation or dysmenorrhea. This drug has been described by alternative medical doctor for treatment of primary dysmenorrhea for more than 10 years and showed clinical satisfied response. From review about this agent, it does not have clinical trial to prove its efficacy. So the author produce this research to study in efficacy of Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The participants were allocated in the study by block randomization and double blind. In experiment-group was treated with Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai and control-group was treated with placebo (non-active agent). Both of drug was made in the same appearance of capsule (size and color). The participants have to start the drug when they have menstruation after that the dosage is 2 capsules for 3 times per day (after-meal) continue to 3 days. The participant have to record pain score (minimal/maximal/mean score) and multidimensional score in daily card, side effect and satisfaction. If the participant couldn't tolerate the pain, they could break the pain with mefenamic acid. They have record number of mefenamic acid which they used too. This study evaluate in only one cycle. After complete record, the participant come back to investigator for sending the report.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain score between experimental and placebo group
Time Frame: 1 year
Compare pain score by using numeric rating scale (NRS) between the group of women who recieve Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai with placebo group.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To study about adverse effects of Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai
Time Frame: 1 year
To study about adverse effects such as skin rash, nausea vomitting, palpitation, jaundice, hypersensitivity symptoms during treatment with Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai or placebo.
1 year
Number of mefenamic acid for breaking pain during study of both group
Time Frame: 1 year
During experiment if participant couldn't tolerate the pain which be treated with Ayurved Siriraj Prasaplai or placebo, they could have breaking pain(rescue treatment) with mefenamic acid. Then the participant have to record the number of mefenamic acid and timing which they used in record form.
