Overview
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

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
premenstrual symptoms
Time Frame: up 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 Outcomes
- cortisol level(up to twelve weeks)
- CRP level assessment(up to twelve weeks)
- hormonal analysis(up to twelve weeks)
