Abstract:- Modern pharmacological therapies for menstruation pain commonly focus on alleviating menstrual pain and relaxing uterine muscle contraction by using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or oral contraceptive pills. Because treatment with NSAIDs is associated with a number of side effects and inadequate pain control by NSAIDs alone in some of cases, the current study was designed to overcome such limitation using Shirazi Thymus Vulgaris as a new pain killer. 120 students of Ilam University of Medical Sciences checked for their inclusion criteria that were singleness at the time of study, aged between 18 to 25 years, accommodated at University campus and having primary dysmenorrhea prior to the enrolment to the study. The participants either received Shirazi Thymus Vulgaris (5ml of the four times a day) or Ibuprofen (three times a day) orally. Both the analyzing methods of VMS and VAS were used to record the pain grade and pain scoring among the participants. The Shirazi Thymus Volgaris cured the pain with similar grade and score as the Ibuprofen at the first and second month of trial. The pain killing specificity of the current herbal medication may be due to its antispasmodic effects and therefore such safe medication can be evaluated and used for the pain therapy using different pain scoring system. Keywords: -Menstrual pain, Pain Score, Shirazi Thymus Vulgaris, VMS.
