Results: Out of total n=53 all the patients were females, the age of the patients were between 18-37 years, with themean of 27.08 and ± SD of 5.188), VAS score before undergoing SPG block was between 8 and 10 with the mean of 9.377 ± SD 0.664. For the patients after undergoing SPG block significant decrease on mean i.e. 1.175 with ±SD 0.657 was noted with p-value<0.001 which was considered significant.
