Numbers 1 to 6 are specific codes of each sequence BBAA, AABB, ABAB, BABA ABBA, BAAB. according on selected sequence, each group of four-subject receives one of the intervention and control methods, Blinding description: The medicine and placebo group will receive similar pads in shape and size and in the same packages labeled with codes A and B. The patient and the researcher prescribing the drug and analyzing the data are not aware of the meaning of the codes. The results of the study are reviewed by a researcher who is not aware of the grouping and is blind to the groups and the type of drug.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Each eligible patient will receive three topical pads containing ginger oil in each two menstrual cycles and a new pad will be replaced every 48 hours. the pad will be located on the abdomen under umbilicus and above the pubic area. If They have pain for a maximum of one hour after using the pad, they can take one mefenamic acid capsule. The number of capsules allowed per day is 2 and the number of capsules consumed is recorded per cycle. Intervention 2: Control group: Each eligible patient will receive three placebo pads in each two menstrual cycles and a new pad will be replaced every 48 hours. the pad will be located on the abdomen under umbilicus and above the pubic area. If They have pain for a maximum of one hour after using the pad, they can take one mefenamic acid capsule. The number of capsules allowed per day is 2 and the number of capsules consumed is recorded in per cycle.</i_freetext>
