First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether guided imagery—a relaxation technique using mental images—can reduce the physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in university students. Forty-eight women with regular cycles and moderate-to-severe PMS will practice guided imagery and report their symptom changes. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to improve well-being during the menstrual cycle.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
guided imagery
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way for young women to manage PMS symptoms at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be small or no better than relaxation alone.
