Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators propose that the sustained administration of a vaginal ring would have a better response with respect to pain and a better safety profile than the oral administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

To assess the relief of the symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea, a specific survey was elaborated that also includes a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to objectify and measure dysmenorrhea as is the case with McGill's Pain Questionnaire (MPQ).
