Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise in reducing dysmenorrhea among adolescent Girls. 50 students were selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique.Data were collected by pain assessment scale and structured knowedge questionnaire. The mean scores of Pre-test knowledge score & Post-test knowledge score are 14.57 & 22.06. The co-relation value are 0.98 respectively (r>1). So there is a positive co-relation between Pre-test knowledge score & Post-test knowledge score. The overall knowledge score shows that there was positive improvement score 6.69 which is greater than the table value 2.021 and found to be highly significant at the level of p<0.05 hence it is evident that the pelvic floor exercise is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea.
