Summary

This study compares two non-drug approaches—aerobic exercise and a specific neck massage technique—to see if they can improve memory in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Researchers will enroll 40 women aged 18 to 30 who have PMS and memory complaints. Participants will be assigned to either a treadmill exercise program or a manual therapy session targeting the neck muscles, and their memory and stress levels will be measured before and after treatment.
