Objective: To study the effects of yoga on anxiety and vital signs in women that at the same time suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Material and Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, yoga administered to subjects with PMS for ten weeks in three sessions with a duration of 60 minutes. Women in the control group did not do any yoga. The demographic questionnaire was filled in by subjects before the intervention. Subjects were also expressed their experiences by filling the Hamilton anxiety rating scale twice, before and after the intervention. Sixty-two subjects were entered into the study equally divided into yoga and control groups, randomly. Results: The symptoms of anxiety including anxious mood, tension, fears, insomnia, intellectual, depressed mood, somatic (muscular), somatic (sensory), cardiovascular symptoms, respiratory symptoms, autonomic symptoms were significantly improved in the yoga group after intervention compared to the control group (P<0.05), except gastrointestinal symptoms, genitourinary symptoms, and behavior at the interview, based on Mann-Whitney Test. Vital signs did not change after yoga exercises except diastolic pressure which was regulated (P<0.05). Conclusions: Yoga significantly affected the anxiety and condition of women with PMS concluding applicability of yoga for women with PMS to pass menstrual cycles with less anxiety.

Aim of the study: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of Yogic intervention on Premenstrual syndrome among Adolescence. Methodology: 30 students were selected from the Government Girls Higher secondary school with ages ranging from 14 to 17 years (group average age±SD 38.37±5.52 years). They all filled Modified Moos menstrual Distress questionnaire before and after the yogic intervention. They were randomly divided into Control and Experimental group. The participants in experimental group did Yoga for 45 minutes each day for 10 weeks under supervision of a female yoga therapist whereas those in control group did not do any such specific activity. Results: Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test. There was a statistically significant reduction in the pain, water retention, autonomic reactions, negative effect, impaired concentration, behavior change, arousal, Control in yoga group as compared to control group. Computed t-value for all participants (i.e., 6.31) has been found significant for df = 28, P<0.01. Conclusion: Premenstrual syndrome can be alleviated by the Yogic Intervention.

“…Drugs such as anti-depressants or diuretics are used commonly to treat mood disorders or to reduce fluid buildup but they consist of side effects. 6 Study suggests pharmacological treatments of dysmenorrhea are not effective for addressing quality of life and are not an appropriate choice for all women due to possible contraindications, potential adverse effects, individual preference, and variation in effective management of symptoms. 5 Yoga is a psycho-physiological system of therapy that aims to harmonize the body and mind resulting in improved physical, mental, and spiritual health.…”

Introduction: Premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea are most common gynecological disorders associated with reduced quality of life among women of reproductive age. This study aims to compare the premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea before and after practice of yoga among women of reproductive age living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Surya Namaskar, Surya Kriya and Shambhavi Mahamudra were common yoga types practiced by participants. Method: A retrospective pre-post study with concurrent mixed method design was used. Study respondents were 41 women of reproductive age. Numeric pain rating scale and Premenstrual syndrome scale were used for quantitative data collection. Interview guide was used for the qualitative data collection. Google form was used for quantitative data whereas telephone was used for an in-depth interview. R-4.2.1 software was used for the quantitative data analysis. Qualitative data was analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s 6-steps thematic analysis in RQDA 0.3.8.1 package of R software. Qualitative findings were triangulated with quantitative findings to determine convergent, divergent and expansive findings. Result: All outcome variables pain intensity score (Baseline: 6.46±2.31, Endline: 3.71±2.24, p<0.0001), pain duration in hour (Baseline: 6, Endline 2.5, p<0.0001) and premenstrual syndrome score (Baseline: 104.73±33.28, Endline: 74.24±22.08, p<0.0001) were significantly different after practice of yoga as compared to before yoga practice. Qualitative findings supported the quantitative result and presented expansive finding as yoga may be beneficial for management of irregular menstrual cycles and polycystic ovarian syndrome as well. Conclusion: The study suggests yoga may help in alleviating premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea.
