After undergoing the intervention, a significance value with a p-value <0.05 was obtained. It can be concluded that it shows significant results in reducing pain intensity. The implications of this study may provide guidelines for health practitioners, especially massage therapists or reproductive health professionals, in integrating SSBMs as part of the care of patients with dysmenorrhea.
