Simple relaxation methods show promise for PMS relief

This study looks at whether combining two relaxation techniques—Benson relaxation and Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation—can reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in women aged 18-30. Fifty-six female students with PMS will be split into three groups: one doing Benson relaxation, one doing Jacobson relaxation, and one doing both. The goal is to see if the combined approach improves physical and emotional symptoms better than either technique alone.
