<![CDATA[Abstract: Dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs during menstruation and is most common in adolescent women, resulting in many visits to gynecology clinics. Menstrual discomfort can sometimes make women unable to perform activities and is accompanied by emotional instability. In reducing pain, this study explains the effectiveness of carrot juice in reducing primary menstrual pain. This study used a true experimental method with a randomized pre-test-post-test design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data analysis was based on the severity grade of the Verbal Multidimensional Scoring System. Data normality was tested. A paired t-test was used to determine the normal distribution of data. If the distribution was not normal, a Wilcoxon test was used. The mean score before carrot juice administration was 1.48, categorized as moderate pain, while after carrot juice administration it was 0.43, categorized as mild pain. The mean dysmenorrhea pain before and after carrot juice administration was 1.05 (95% CI: 2.50-3.20) with a mean SD of 1.00. Based on the results of the t-test, α = 0.05 indicates a P-value of 0.000, meaning the paired test results are 0.05.
