Group shown a video using a virtual reality headset: For this experiment, a video featuring nature scenes and waterfalls was downloaded to a phone, loaded into a virtual reality headset, and provided to the participant ready for use.

Unlike the intervention group, the women in the control group were given MP3 players by the researcher, instructed on how to use them, and had the music used in the virtual reality video loaded onto the devices for them to listen to.

Group shown a video using a virtual reality headset: A video containing images of nature and waterfalls is downloaded to a phone and provided to the participant ready to use inside a virtual reality headset; the procedure is carried out as described below.

For three consecutive days, each day:

• After menstruation begins, apply the VAS pain scale before going to bed in the evening
• In the evening, in a dark and quiet environment, watch the 30-minute virtual reality video as instructed by the researcher until falling asleep
• The following morning, apply the VAS pain scale and RCUÖ and inform the researcher.

After the study was completed, the equipment returned to the researcher was calibrated and cleaned as necessary by the researcher and prepared for use with another patient.

This table includes the latest menstrual pain scale, the occurrence of pain during the menstrual cycle, the type of dysmenorrhea, the timing of dysmenorrhea, information about menstruation, who provided information about menstruation, the use of pain relievers during the menstrual period, non-pharmacological interventions used to alleviate menstrual pain, non-pharmacological interventions used to alleviate menstrual pain, the presence of dysmenorrhea in the family, and gynecological diagnosis data.
