Abstract Introduction Dysmenorrhoea is defined as pain associated with menstruation of sufficient magnitude so as to affect day-to-day activities. Dysmenorrhoea can be classified as Primary dysmenorrhoea and Secondary dysmenorrhoea. Method and Material Sample of 60 unmarried healthy reproductive females aged between 18–25 years of Adesh University, who suffered from primary dysmenorrhoea, were enrolled by randomized sampling method. Consent was taken for volunteer participation. Participants were then divided randomly in two groups (group A and group B) each group consisting of 30 subjects. Group A underwent exercise regime and thermotherapy during menstruation and group B underwent thermotherapy during menstruation. Post treatment, pain was assessed by using Visual Analog Scale.
