ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how online exercises can help women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and their partners manage stress and improve family dynamics. The research involves 60 couples, where half will participate in the online exercise program, while the other half will not. To be eligible for this study, women must be married, between the ages of 18 and 45, and have a certain level of PMS severity. They should also be comfortable using technology, like a smartphone or computer, to participate in the sessions.

Participants can expect to engage in online exercises designed to alleviate PMS symptoms and observe changes in stress levels and family functioning. The study aims to provide insights into how these exercises can benefit not just the individual but also the couple's overall relationship. It's important to note that women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using medications or other treatments for PMS are not eligible to participate.
