This chapter will cover a theory-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) approach for young women's menstrual pain management. This chapter will help people understand menstrual pain management and its potential for improving pain management knowledge and promoting the adoption of wellness-focused coping methods to manage pain in everyday settings. There is substantial evidence for treating mental health issues using cognitive-behavioral techniques and menstrual pain for young women based on this meta-inclusion analysis of RCTs with solid study designs in this chapter.
TopMethod
Methodologically, sensitive search words (finding the most crucial studies but with much irrelevant material) were picked after the initial searches (more relevant research but with the risk of missing some important ones). This section used the phrases “cognitive behavior therapy” and “menstrual” during the article's research. The comprehensive, evidence-based examination covers telemedicine issues. We chose recent publications, since this is a rapidly expanding area. They have published it half in the previous five years. After evaluating abstracts, we evaluated 51 texts (Figure 1). The results presented in this chapter use quality assurance with the purpose of enhancing the validity and trustworthiness of results. The author made sure facts supported each subject and explanation.

TopResult And Discussion
This chapter presents a result of the cognitive-behavioral perspective. This behavioral technique includes psychological factors, such as cognitive components instead of conditioning. It emphasized them rather than anticipation, avoidance, and reinforcement contingencies (Grupe et al., 2013). According to this theory, their interpretations of events formed people's behaviors and emotions. Physical, cognitive, and behavioral elements influence their attitudes and views (Ellis 2021). It shows that learned expectations of the person are more likely to generate conditioned responses than the spontaneous generation of these behaviors.
CBT uses cognitive, behavioral, and environmental strategies to treat patients (Kinsinger, 2017). Helping a customer begins with redefining or “reimagining” the problem. With these new abilities learned, he or she will overcome emotional, cognitive, or behavioral challenges. Once these talents have been developed and generalized, the CBT technique focuses on ensuring their long-term viability and sustainability (Velligan et al. 2010).
A critical component of CBT is helping the client articulate their problem in a way that makes it easier for them to resolve it. For example, a solution-focused counseling technique might be employed once it has given the client an alternative perspective (Quick, 2008). Cognitive restructuring may help individuals become more aware of how their thoughts and feelings perpetuate problems. Patients learn to identify and face negative automatic copying words instead of negative ones as part of their therapy process (Iacoviello & Charney, 2014).
Deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation training, may help individuals change their attitudes, emotions, and behaviors (Mokaberian et al., 2021). In order to promote long-term behavioral and cognitive progress, role-playing the abilities that patients learn in treatment is reinforced via their daily home tasks.
Prevention of recurrence is a CBT's central concept. When therapy is over, they must prepare clients to cope with setbacks on their own so that therapeutic gains can last (Wenzel, 2017). Therapy addresses this issue so that clients are aware of the possibility of setbacks and prepared to cope with them if they arise. When dealing with future issues, they teach clients problem-solving strategies to boost their confidence.
