Abstract
This study was conducted to determine and compare the effect of interfrential current versus TENS on primary dysmenorrhea. Forty girls complained from primary dysmenorrhea (diagnosed by gynecologist/ physician) participated in this study were chosen from outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy, Cairo university. Their ages ranged from 18 to 29 years old. Their body weight ranged from 50-70 kg, their height ranged from 150-180 cm and BMI ranged from 20-30 kg/m2 .They were divided randomly into two groups equal in number, group (A) treated by interfrential current while group (B) treated by TENS. Menstrual pain was evaluated by visual analoge pain scale and the serum cortisol level before and after treatment by receiving interfrential current or TENS sessions. The obtained results showed a statistically slight decrease in menstrual pain after treatment in both groups and there is no significant difference between effect of interfrential current and TENS on primary dysmenorrhea. It could be concluded that both IFC and and TENS had the same effect in decreasing pain in primary dysmenorrhea
