Summary

This study looked at whether music therapy—like listening to music, singing, or playing instruments—can help college students with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Twenty participants were split into three groups and had their brain waves, heart rate, muscle tension, anxiety, and pain measured before, during, and after the music activity. The goal was to see if active music-making works better than just listening to ease PMS symptoms.
