The efficacy of ibuprofen and naproxen‐sodium for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea was evaluated in a double‐blind cross‐over study in 57 otherwise healthy women. The severity of pain reported by the patients was significantly (P < 0.01) reduced during treatment with both ibuprofen and naproxen‐sodium compared to the severity of pain before the first dose. The mean pain relief during treatment with ibuprofen was significantly (P < 0.05) greater than during treatment with naproxen‐sodium in the dosages indicated.
