Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a health problem characterized by the periodic occurrence of physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, ending with the onset of menstruation or with the alleviation of symptoms within a few days after the onset of menstruation. It is reported that approximately 80-95% of women complain of PMS complaints.

With the proposed study, the investigators aim to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the open-label placebo (OLP) intervention in premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and to contribute to a broader understanding of how OLPs work. It is planned to survey participants of the intervention groups (OLP+ and OLP-) regarding symptom intensity and impairment due to PMS after the conclusion of our randomized controlled trial (RCT) and intervention provision. Additionally, it will be examined if there is a difference between the OLP group with and without a treatment rationale (OPL+ vs. OLP-) across time. More precisely, it will be investigated whether participants of the intervention groups with and without treatment rationale experience any long-term improvement.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder among women of reproductive age. About 40% of women report problems with their menstrual cycle. Pomegranate supplementation is one of the practices that may reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This study was planned to determine the effect of pomegranate supplementation on the severity of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. In the study to be conducted in 2023 with women diagnosed with PMS living in Sakarya province, the individuals to be included in the study will be determined by snowball sampling method and those who meet the inclusion criteria will participate in the study. The researchers will divide the participants into control and intervention groups by using NCSS (statistical software) in a 1:1 ratio using a simple block randomization approach based on CONSORT guidelines. The individuals in the control group will first be administered the PMSÖ (Premenstrual Syndrome Rating Scale) and no intervention will be made. Participants in the intervention group will be informed about 3 mL pomegranate supplementation 13,14 three times a day for 10 days during 2 menstrual cycles (between 7 days before and 3 days after the estimated onset of menstruation). The test will be repeated at the end of the 2nd month post-intervention. Normality of continuous data will be assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Data will be expressed as mean ± SD or median and interquartile range (IQR) as appropriate. Variables will be compared between the two intervention and placebo groups using Student's T-test (parametric data) or Mann-Whitney (non-parametric data) or chi-square tests (for qualitative indices). Analyses of changes from pre-intervention to post-intervention within the identified groups will be performed using the Dependent Two Sample t Test (normally distributed parameters) or Wilcoxon signed rank test (non-normally distributed and categorical parameters). All statistical calculations will be performed with SPSS software version 18.
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.
The research employs a pre-test post-test control group design with a randomized controlled semi-experimental approach to determine the impact of education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome and Mandala activity on premenstrual symptoms. Research Hypotheses: H01: Mandala activity is not effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H02: Education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome is not effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H13: Mandala activity is effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H14: Education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome is effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H15: Mandala activity is more effective than education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome in reducing premenstrual symptoms among students with PMS. Research Groups: Mandala Group, Coping with Premenstrual Symptoms Education Group, and Control Group.
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the influencing factors of body image in women of reproductive age. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a connection between physical activity, body mass index and body image? - Is there a connection between body image, premenstrual syndrome and sleep quality? Participants will fill out a complex online questionnaire.
Mandala practice will be applied to women with premenstrual syndrome. The intervention group (Mandala practice group) and the control group each consisted of 60 women.
Nurses have important duties in this regard due to their roles such as health education, health protection, development and consultancy. In this study, it is thought that the training given according to the health promotion model will both create a resource for nurses and contribute to the literature with the results obtained by applying this training to people experiencing PMS.The research will be conducted as a pretest-posttest randomized controlled study. H1: Education given according to the health promotion model has an effect on premenstrual symptoms, emotional eating behavior and perceived stress. H0: Education given according to the health promotion model has no effect on premenstrual symptoms, emotional eating behavior and perceived stress. The total number of students in the research population is 330.In the G*Power 3.1.9.7 program, for the effect size t test, d = 0.94, alpha (α) = 0.05, and power (1-β) = 0.95, and the minimum total sample number was determined as 52, experimental group: 26, control group: 26. . However, taking into account the losses in the study, a total of 60 people will be included in the study. (experiment:30, control:30). The first group will be divided into the group trained according to the health promotion model using the Philips 66 technique, and the second group will be divided into the control group.
The aim of this study is investigate the effects of progressive relaxation and myofascial release technique on blood flow velocity, pain, premenstrual symptoms and quality of life in premenstrual syndrome patients. There are tree groups in the study. These groups are; progressive muscle relaxation group, myofascial relaxation technique and control group. Evaluations will be made by another physical therapist who is blinded to the groups. Participants will be evaluated within the first 3 days of their menstrual cycle. Baseline assessment and post- treatment assessment will be done. Follow-up evaluation will be done on the fifth cycle, two cycles after the post-treatment evaluation.
