Can Clonidine be used to treat dysmenorrhea (painful periods)? What evidence supports its use and how does it compare with NSAIDs or hormonal therapies?
Clonidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, is not commonly used for dysmenorrhea. Limited evidence suggests minor effectiveness, but NSAIDs and hormonal therapies remain preferred due to stronger efficacy data and established use.
