1. Women of childbearing age over 19
2. menstrual pain intensity assessment tool” tot10: The tot10 value is the average of MVRS, VRS, VAS, q9-1, and q9-3 converted into 10 points in the questionnaire for menstrual pain intensity
Subjects with over 4 points
3. Subjects who were clearly briefed on the purpose and characteristics of the study and who subsequently agreed to participate and signed the written consent form
1. Individuals with neurological disorders such as epilepsy, meningitis, encephalitis, cerebrovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, tic disorder, headache, peripheral nerve disorder, and sensory nerve disorder
2. Individuals with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes
(The criterion for abnormal blood pressure is the average systolic pressure of over 140 mmHg or the average diastolic pressure of over 90 mmHg, when the pressure is measured twice at more than 2-minute intervals using an automatic blood pressure gauge after resting in sitting position for at least 5 minutes; arrhythmia is observed in the PPG test.)
3. Individuals with allergies to skin-contact materials for research such as metals and electrode paste
4. Individuals with burns, wounds, and skin disorders on the stimulation site
5. Individuals with history of general anesthesia within a year
6. Individuals taking medication including analgesics, psychotherapy drugs for depression, and drugs for diabetes and hypertension and neurological disorders within 1 month
7. Individuals with irregular menstrual cycle of over 10 days
8. Individuals with history of being diagnosed with uterine myoma, endometriosis, ovarian cyst, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and pelvic inflammatory disease that can induce menstrual pain before participating in the study
9. Individuals with polymenorrhea (less than 21 days of menstrual period) or oligomenorrhea (more than 35 days of menstrual period)
10. Individuals who are considered not to have the ability to fill out the documents related to study performance
11. Other individuals who are considered inappropriate for study participation
