Summary

This study looked at whether laughter yoga can improve quality of life and reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in young people aged 18 to 25. Seventy-five participants with regular periods took part. The approach combines breathing exercises, clapping, and playful games to trigger laughter. Researchers measured coping skills and PMS-specific quality of life.
