Summary

This trial tests whether coloring mandalas—intricate circular patterns—can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality in female students who experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Participants will be asked to color mandalas, and researchers will measure changes in their anxiety levels and sleep quality using standard questionnaires. The goal is to see if this simple, non-pharmacological activity can be a helpful tool for managing PMS-related symptoms.

Mandala coloring
What this could lead to
If effective, mandala coloring could offer a simple, accessible, non-drug way to help women manage anxiety and sleep problems linked to PMS.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all women. The effect may be modest, and individual responses can vary.
