This research is being done to examine epigenetic markers and mood changes across the menstrual cycle, particularly in premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The investigators previously identified epigenetic biomarkers of postpartum depression, another reproductive affective disorder, and in this study aim to determine if these biomarkers also distinguish PMDD cases from healthy controls at different points in the menstrual cycle. By collecting biological samples (such as blood) and monitoring mood changes across the menstrual cycle, the investigators will be able to determine whether these epigenetic markers are associated with PMDD. The investigators plan to study these epigenetic markers during the follicular phase (roughly the first half of the menstrual cycle, from menses until ovulation) and the luteal phase (roughly the second half of the menstrual cycle, from ovulation to menses). The investigators will study this in two groups: 1) individuals who do NOT have premenstrual mood symptoms, and 2) individuals with premenstrual syndrome/premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMS/PMDD). The results will provide a comprehensive view of the changes in these systems across the menstrual cycle. This will add to the investigators understanding of the mechanisms that may cause PMS/PMDD.

Premenstrual syndrome is psycho-physiological stress induced condition including physical, behavioral, and psychological symptoms occur during luteal phase of menstrual cycle (after ovulation) and disappear within a few days after the onset of menstrual cycle .Bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, food cravings, backache, headache, skin breakouts, depression, lack of energy, irritability, frequent urination, and insomnia are the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. The aim of this study is to determine the combined effect of Benson relaxation and Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation techniques on Premenstrual syndrome. Three-arm parallel Randomized control trial (study design) in which three groups will be formed. A sample size of 56 female students will be selected from University of Health Sciences, Lahore using the purposive sampling technique and will be equally and randomly allocated to three groups using computer generated random number by Excel software. Jacobson PMR technique will be applied on group A and Benson Relaxation Technique on group B and both Benson relaxation and Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation techniques will be applied on group C for two months three times a week. Symptoms will be assessed before and at 8th week (at the end of treatment) by using the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale. There will be assessor blinding while data collecting in order to reduce biasness. The potential significance of combined effect of Benson relaxation technique and Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation is to reduce the symptoms of PMS, improving the quality of life, provide the non-pharmacological approach, improve daily functioning, provide the empowerment to women, enhance relationship, cost - effective, and it is assessable intervention that can be performed in various settings, and will provide the significant positive impact on the lives of women. Combined effect of Benson relaxation and Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation techniques will help in improving symptoms and provide mental and physical relaxation which will help women in enhancing self-control, in reducing absenteeism, improving productivity, increased sense of well- being, and increasing participation in social activities.

The aim of this clinical trial, funded by Activ'Inside, is to evaluate the efficacy of a food supplement in relieving Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Symptoms. The study will be performed on 110 healthy women who experience mild/moderate Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) symptoms, under the supervision of a board-certified Gynecologist. Half of the subjects will assume the active product and half of the subjects will assume a placebo (a product without active ingredients). Specific assessments will be carried out before and after 1, 2 and 3 menstrual cycles of product intake. Also, the possible occurrence of adverse events will be recorded.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common condition among young women, characterized by physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that negatively affect quality of life. Laughter yoga, a non-pharmacological mind-body intervention combining breathing techniques, relaxation, and intentional laughter, has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance well-being. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on PMS symptoms and quality of life in young women.
NCT07078708
A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel trial was conducted involving 100 females aged 18-40, all of whom presented with premenstrual syndrome at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Avicenna Medical College Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups of equal size: One group received vitamin D supplementation at a dose of 50,000 IU every two weeks along with a daily intake of 1,000 mg of calcium, whereas the comparison group was administered a placebo under the same conditions for 12 weeks. All the participants were examined on premenstrual syndrome with the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool-Adolescent (PSST-A) questionnaire
NCT07040553
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week support program that combines face-to-face motivational interviewing with weekly WhatsApp messages in reducing premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms and improving emotion regulation among university students. The study was conducted with 70 female students enrolled in the Nursing Department of Erzurum Technical University in Türkiye. Eligible participants are identified using the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and those scoring above 110 are considered to have PMS. Students who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate are randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=35) or the control group (n=35), using a computer-based randomization tool. Housing locations (e.g., dorm rooms or homes) are considered to prevent cross-contamination between groups. All participants complete three forms: a Personal Information Form (to gather data on sociodemographic, menstrual, and lifestyle characteristics), the PMSS (to assess PMS severity), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Short Form (DERS-16). These are completed before the intervention and again at 8 weeks. The intervention group receives weekly one-on-one motivational interviews and supportive WhatsApp messages based on the principles of Motivational Interviewing as defined by Miller and Rollnick (2012). No medical treatments or devices are used in this study. Participation is voluntary, and informed written consent is obtained from all students. Ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee of Erzurum Technical University.

Aromatherapy is;the science of using highly concentrated essential oils or essences distilled from plants to take advantage of their therapeutic properties. Essential oils or essences are obtained from various parts of plants (root, leaf, flower, bark, fruit) and used therapeutically for physical and psychological well-being. 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. Although the use of aromatherapy in womens health is widespread, there is no study comparing bergamot and grapefruit essential oils. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of aromatherapy with bergamot and grapefruit essential oils on premenstrual syndrome and menstrual symptoms.
