Effleurage massage is a technique with calm rhythmic, gentle pressure distally or downwards. In this research, massage was carried out for 3 minutes. Dysmenorrhea prevalence in Indonesia is very high at 64.25%. Dysmenorrhea interferes with daily activities (14%), affecting the quality of life. Dysmenorrhea can be overcome by non pharmacological therapy, one of which is Effleurage massage.

The sampling method used nonprobability sampling technique; purposive sampling. Data was collected using a demographic data questionnaire and numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scale sheet. Results: Based on the statistical test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a value of p = 0.000, which means a difference in pain intensity before and after effleurage massage. Conclusion: Effleurage massage is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea.
