Abstract: Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the common and most spoken topics in young females' lives. Although it is a common condition it is usually underdiagnosed, since most females do not seek medical attention. Primary dysmenorrhea is a common and often debilitating condition that affects many individuals. It is characterized by painful cramps in the lower abdomen, which start slowly and shortly before or onset of the menses. But the term primary dysmenorrhea means absence of any-other secondary diseases such as –endometriosis and PCOD. Due to this, the quality of life of young females has a negative impact and that is the main reason for the major absenteeism from school, college and work. This clinical study investigates the efficacy of Actaea racemosa in 2 potencies 30C and 200C as a potential homeopathic remedy for alleviating primary dysmenorrhea in young females. In this study 20 young females with complaints of primary dysmenorrhea selected from SKHMCH were prescribed with Actaea racemosa30C or 200C after through case taking. Follow-ups were taken for the next day and improvements of the cases were assessed. This research employs a rigorous methodology to assess the impact of these remedies on the intensity and duration of menstrual pain with a focus in improving the quality of life for affected individuals.
