Registration Number
NCT04855981
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effect of whole-body vibration to aerobic exercise on inflammatory status in females with premenstrual syndrome.

Detailed Description

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a complex disorder characterized by moderate to severe symptoms taking place during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. It has a negative impact on females' lives, which can affect their relationships, educational efficiency, social activities, and quality of life. Despite previous studies reported that physical exercise improves the symptoms of PMS, the effects of physical exercise on inflammatory status in females with PMS are not clear yet. sixty females allocated to three groups randomly to group (A) that will receive whole-body vibration+supplementation, group (B) that will receive aerobic exercises+supplementation, and group c that will receive supplementation only

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
premenstrual symptomsup to twelve weeks

The premenstrual syndrome questionnaire also measured the occurrence and severity of two menstrual pain symptoms, including cramp and backache experienced during the first 2 days of the women' last menstrual period. Premenstrual symptoms were scaled as: mild (1); moderate (2); and severe (3). Young women with PMS should experience a premenstrual symptoms score of at least 50% greater than the postmenstrual score

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cortisol levelup to twelve weeks

When a technician carries out the cortisol level test between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., the results will typically be within the range of 10-20 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL). more than 20 the level of stress increased.

CRP level assessmentup to twelve weeks

blood sampl a normal reading is less than 10 milligram per liter (mg/L), more than 10 milligram the level of inflammation in body increase.

hormonal analysisup to twelve weeks

blood sample will be used for assessment the level of progesterone and prolactin. normal level of progesterone less than 0.20 ng/mL and Normal levels of prolactin in females: less than 25 ng/mL
