Detailed description

Young women over the age of 18 with premenstrual syndrome were randomly divided into two groups. One group received facial massage for six weeks, while the other group received no intervention. At the end of six weeks, pain, stress, quality of life and mood were assessed in both groups.

Before the application, the participants were made to lie in the supine position on the patient's bed. The researchers performed the facial massage by standing at the participants' bedside. During the massage application, three stroking movements were applied to the chin, mouth, nose, eyes and forehead areas, respectively. Kneading motion was then applied to the same areas three times each. Then, stroking was applied to these five areas again and the facial massage application was terminated at the end of approximately 20-30 minutes.
