Purpose: In this study, the aim was to compare the efficiencies of diclofenac sodium and paracetamol cure using visual analog scale in the patients applying to emergency room with primer dysmenorrhea. Tools and method: Group I (n=40) patients diagnosed with primer dysmenorrhea and treated with paracetamol (75 mg intramuscular) and Group II (n=40) patients diagnosed with primer dysmenorrhea and treated with diclofenac sodium (1 g intravenous) were included in this study. In both groups, patients were between 19-30 years old. In all groups, the intensity of the pain was ranked between 0 (no pain) and 10 (intolerable) by using VAS. VAS score of the groups were compared. Findings: Between two groups, there was not a significant difference statistically in terms of age, mean arterial pressure and pulse values. The VAS values of the first group were higher than that of 2nd group in the beginning. But after the treatment, in the 10th and 30th minutes, the VAS values were lower than that of 2nd group. (p=0.00). The VAS values of the each group in the beginning, on the 10th and 30th minutes were significantly different from each other. VAS values on the 10th and 30th minutes were lower compared to the values in the beginning and the values in the 30th minute was lower according to the 10th minute. (p=0.00). Result: We can suggest that paracetamol is more efficient than diclofenac sodium in primer dysmenorrhea pain treatment.
