Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean change in visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain due to dysmenorrhea from baseline to Visit 6Baseline to week 17

The patient marks the individual pain impression on a visual analogue scale in the range 0 (no pain) to 100mm (worst pain ever experienced)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of days with dysmenorrheaUp to 16 weeks

The occurrence of dysmenorrhea will be recorded in the patient diary

Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of total number of taken supportive analgesic medicationBaseline to week 16

Standard Analgesic tablets are provided to participants

Number of participants with adverse events as measure of safety and tolerabilityUp to 16 weeks
Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of severity of lumbagoUp to 16 weeks

The patient classifies the severity on a mild, moderate, severe scale

Change in dysmenorrhea scoreBaseline to week 16

It is the sum of two four-stage sub-scales which assess the extent to which dysmenorrhea interferes with daily life \& the extent to which pain medication is used.

Clinical Global Impression(CGI)At week 16

The CGI is the measure of global improvement index from the opinion of the investigator and subject to document changes in the health status during treatment

Self administered SF-36 questionnaireAt baseline and week 17

The 36-items Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) (version 2.0) is a set of generic, coherent,and easily administered quality-of-life measures.

Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of severity of headacheUp to 16 weeks

The patient classifies the severity on a mild, moderate, severe scale

Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of days without supportive analgesic medication.Baseline to week 16
Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of severity of nausea/vomitingUp to 16 weeks

The patient classifies the severity on a mild, moderate, severe scale
