<![CDATA[Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain that occurs in the absence of pathological disorders of the reproductive system. This condition is common among adolescent girls and may interfere with daily activities, particularly learning activities in Islamic boarding schools. Sliding cupping therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that may help reduce the pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea. This study employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 26 female students selected using purposive sampling. Pain intensity was measured before and after the sliding cupping therapy using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that before the intervention, 76.90% of the respondents experienced moderate pain, while after the intervention, 84.60% experienced mild pain. The statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.00 (p < 0.05), indicating that sliding cupping therapy had a significant effect on reducing the pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea among female students. ]]>
