Clinical Trial Summary

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that occurs with physical and psychological symptoms in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in women and affects the physical and mental well-being of the individual. Physiological symptoms; edema, headache, fatigue, weight gain and breast swelling and tenderness, and psychological symptoms; It can be seen as tension, anger, depressed mood or stress. Although it usually ends with the onset of menstruation, its repetition with each menstrual cycle affects the individual's pain coping strategies, sleep and quality of life. Different methods such as pharmacological agents, physiotherapy applications, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, breathing exercises, stress management, meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy are used to cope with PMS, which appears with symptoms of different severities from individual to individual.


Clinical Trial Description

Exercise; It is known to have positive physical and psychological effects on PMS symptoms by reducing muscle cramps, increasing circulation and controlling the neuromuscular system. Pilates, as an exercise method that combines body-mind conditioning with breathing control and focuses on lumbopelvic stability and targets core stabilization, is also thought to have a significant effect on increasing pelvic floor muscle strength by performing it together with pelvic floor muscle contraction. In addition, considering the anatomical connection of the pelvic floor muscles with other core muscles, it has been observed that pelvic floor muscle contractions also occur during abdominal muscle contraction. The pelvic floor consists of a group of muscles and connective tissues that extend like a sling across the pelvic floor; It consists of two layers, the superficial perineal muscles and the deep pelvic diaphragm, and provides support to the pelvic organs, bladder and elements of the spine. Pelvic floor exercises are a safe and effective means of decreasing the symptoms and signs of pelvic disorders. In the literature, it is seen that these exercises are effective in urinary incontinence. There is no study examining the effect of pelvic floor muscle training combined with pilates on PMS symptoms. The purpose of this study; To examine the effects of pelvic floor exercises, in addition to pilates exercises, on PMS symptoms, pain, sleep and quality of life in individuals with premenstrual syndrome. ;
