Though the adolescent girls are used different measures and methods as well as techniques to get reduction in level of pain during menstruation period. During dysmenorrhea the adolescent girls bearing and facing lot of difficulties while doing their common tasks and other activities. So in order to reduce the level of pain during menstrual period the adolescent girls can use a common technique known as Jacabson,s muscle relaxation technique. Even though it is commonly observed that during menstrual pain the adolescent girls get distraction of normal life for example low concentration on their studies, difficulties in accomplishing daily tasks and other activities, school absenteeism, and even the adolescent girls are maintaining physical distances among family members as well as among friends during these days. Dysmenorrhea also limits participation in sports and social activities that is why many women and adolescent girls are nowadays trying to find some basic remedies which can help them to relieve the level of pain during menstruation. Therefore, On the basis of these observations and views a study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle relaxation technique on pain during menstruation among adolescent girls facing dysmenorrhea at selected high schools of Kashmir for which 60 subjects were selected by convenient sampling technique. After data collection Numerical pain assessment scale was used to assess the pain among subjects. The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics by using chi-square and t-test. The findings revealed that the mean posttest pain level score (2.3), standard deviation 1.46, at t value -16.9 was significantly lower than mean pretest pain level score 5.1, standard deviation 1.38 at calculated p value .000001 among study subjects at Calculated cohen’s d is 2.3 which indicated that muscle relaxation technique is very useful at large scale to make effect on pain which can be observed easily. The findings also concluded that there were statistically no significant association between demographic variables (p=0.000) of adolescent girls with their pre-test knowledge scores at 0.05 level of significance.
