Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological issue among women of reproductive age, characterized by menstrual pain that may disrupt daily activities. One proven non-pharmacological treatment is cupping therapy. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cupping therapy on dysmenorrhea in undergraduate midwifery students at STIKes Pelita Ibu Kendari. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest and posttest approach was applied. A total of 20 respondents were selected using purposive sampling from 40 students who experienced dysmenorrhea. The intervention involved cupping therapy on the Kahil, Al-Warik, and Zhahrul Qadam points. Data collection tools included a questionnaire and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Paired t-test. The results showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference in pain intensity before and after the cupping therapy. It is concluded that cupping therapy is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain.
