The aim of this research was to determine the difference in the intensity of menstrual pain before and after herbal compress ball therapy in class X-XI female students at SMA Negeri 2 Tabanan. The design of this research is pre-experimental with a one group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique used Non Probability Sampling, Purposive Sampling type with a total of 20 respondents. The instrument used was the NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) pain scale measurement sheet. The results of the data normality test showed that the data was not normally distributed, so the analysis used the Wilcoxon test.
