Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined existing research to evaluate if ginger effectively reduces symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain).
  • Four randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing ginger with placebo showed that ginger significantly decreased pain scores during the first 3-4 days of menstruation, especially at doses of 750-2000 mg.
  • Most of the studies had low to moderate bias risk, and overall, evidence suggests ginger could be a helpful treatment for menstrual pain when taken early in the cycle.
