Data analysis used independent t-test and Repeated Measured Anova test.
The results showed that there was a difference in mean pain before and before cinnamon powder at 24 hours of intervention after (p<0.001) while red ginger drink powder showed no significant difference in mean pain before and before the intervention in the first 24 hours of intervention (p = 0.112). However, at 48 hours and 72 hours of intervention for the two groups, there was a significant difference in the decrease in mean menstrual pain in primary dysmenorrhea (p<0.001).
Cinnamon drink powder is more effective than red ginger drink powder in reducing primary dysmenorrhea menstrual pain.
