Detailed description

Premenstrual syndrome is the clinical condition in which reproductive age females suffer from emotional and physical symptoms not related to any disease, starting usually five days before the menstrual cycle for three consecutive cycles. As menstrual cycle starts in females these symptoms vanish on 4th day of menstruation. Around 10% to 53% of female adults suffer from this condition. This condition limits activities of daily life and adversely effects the quality of life therefore, the administration of proper medical intervention is very important. Aerobic exercises and progressive muscle relaxation exercises have been effective in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome previously in a few studies. However, these two interventions have never been compared to test their effects on pain, and functional performance.
