Efficacy of a Food Supplement in Relieving Premenstrual Syndrome Symptoms

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.

Identification and Validation of Epigenetic Biomarkers of PMDD

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.

Effects of Yoga on Balance, Cognition, Posture, and Body Awareness in Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is characterized by a combination of cognitive, somatic, behavioral, and emotional disorders that occur during the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, resolve rapidly after menstruation, and can be severe enough to disrupt daily activities. When reviewing the literature, studies examining the effects of yoga-based exercises on premenstrual syndrome appear to be quite limited. Our aim is to raise awareness among professionals working in this field in our country, contributing to the reduction of symptoms and improvement of the quality of life of individuals with premenstrual syndrome.
