Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual analogue scale for lower abdominal pain	The subjective and verified visual analogue scale is used to quantify both acute and chronic pain (1). On the 10 cm line, scores are recorded by making a mark. Pain intensity is measured along a 10-cm line with 0 denoting "no pain" and 10 denoting "worst pain."	8 week
Primary	Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire	Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) to assess dysmenorrhea symptoms. The MSQ is a 24 item self-report measure which assesses menstrual pain and symptoms (e.g. 'I have cramps that begin on the first day of my period'; 'I feel depressed for several days before my period'). The score on each item ranges from 1 (never) to 5 (always) with a higher composite score indicating more symptoms.	8 weeks
Primary	Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index	Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) evaluates sleep disruptions and quality over a 1-month period. In scoring the PSQI, seven component scores are derived, each scored 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty).	8 week
