Background: Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecologic complaint among adolescent females. Dysmenorrhea in adolescents is usually primary, and is associated with normal ovulatory cycles and with no pelvic pathology. The adolescent care provider’s role is to explain the pathophysiology of dysmenorrhea to every adolescent female, address any concern that the patient has about her menstrual period, and review effective treatment options for dysmenorrhea with the patient. Methods: This was true experimental study with 60 subjects 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group selected through simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by using numerical pain scale. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of mean percentage by distribution, paired “t” test and chi square test for association. Results: In the experimental group, 15(50%) had severe dysmenorrhea, 15(50%) had moderate, none of the adolescent girls had mild dysmenorrhea in the pre-test where as in the post test, 18(60%) had mild dysmenorrhea, 12(40%) had moderate dysmenorrhea. In control group, 20(67%) had moderate dysmenorrhea, 7(23%) had severe, 3(10%) had mild dysmenorrhea in the pre-test where as in the post test, 13(43%) had mild dysmenorrhea, 10(34%) had moderate dysmenorrhea and 7(23%) had severe dysmenorrhea. However after intervention of pelvic rocking exercise in experimental group the post-test mean score dysmenorrhea was 3.1±1.193 and the post-test mean score of control group was 4.633±2.4830. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = (-2.99741) which was found to be statistically significant at p<0.05. This clearly infers that pelvic rocking exercise on dysmenorrhea administered among adolescent girls was found to be effective in reducing the level of dysmenorrhea in the post-test among the adolescent girls in experimental by comparing with control group. Conclusion: The study proved that the effectiveness of pelvic rocking exercise on dysmenorrhe
