简要总结
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of connective tissue massage on premenstrual syndrome.
详细描述
Premenstrual syndrome is a collection of emotional, physiological and behavioral symptoms that develop around the end of the luteal phase and fade away with or after mensturation.
The physiological effects of connective tissue massage (CTM) are both local and general. Local effects include release of histamine from mast cells which leads to a triple response, local swelling and arteriolar dilatation mediated by local axon reflexes. The increased blood flow to the region assists resolution of subacute or chronic inflammation and reduces pain by removing nocigenic chemicals from the tissues. The mechanical distortions produced by CTM strokes help to mobilize connective tissue and improve function.
Few studies have investigated the effect of the CTM on premenstrual syndrome in adolescent females. So this study will be conducted to add new information about the effect of connective tissue massage on premenstrual syndrome, which may help adolescent females suffering from this syndrome in decreasing their symptoms, thus adding new information to the field of physical therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: 3 months
Degrees of menstrual pain will be assessed using a VAS for all participants before and after treatment, which is a method of representing pain on a 10 cm linear scale. A score of zero means "No pain" and 10 means "a very high degree of pain".
Premenstrual syndrome severity
时间窗: 3 months
Severity of premenstrual symptoms will be assessed by using the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ). Each participant will examine symptom categories (pain, concentration, water retention, behavior changes, negative effect, autonomic reaction, arousal and control) Participants are asked to report the symptoms experienced during their most recent menstrual period, using a rating scale. Responses ranged from (0) No experience of the symptom, (1) mild, (2) moderate, (3) severe and (4) very severe disabling symptoms. Overall scores are interpreted as follows: \>50- mild, 50 to 70- moderate and \>70 severe
