Statistical test used wilcoxon and kruskal wallis test with significance level α <0.05.
Result: The results showed that the Ar Rahman-based dysmenorrhea gymnastics statistically  proven can reduce menstrual pain more effectively compared with other interventions: menstrual gymnastics only and murrotal only,  with p = 0.001 and the mean rank pre intervention is 31,31, and mean rank post intervention is 19,50.
