Summary

This study tested whether laughter yoga and sleep hygiene training could help university students with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). 45 female students took part in 4 weekly 45-minute laughter yoga sessions plus sleep hygiene advice. Researchers measured changes in PMS symptoms, stress levels, and sleep quality. The goal was to see if these simple, non-drug approaches could improve well-being.
