Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent condition among adolescent girls, causing significant physical and emotional distress. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the impact of Qi Gong therapy on alleviating PMS symptoms among adolescent girls in North Gujarat. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was implemented with 231 adolescent girls aged 13-17 years. Participants underwent a 4-week Qi Gong therapy program, with five 45-minute sessions weekly. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and Modified PMS Scale, analysing pre - and post-intervention symptoms through descriptive statistics, paired t-tests and chi-square tests. The intervention significantly reduced PMS severity, with mild PMS cases increasing from 48 (20.78%) to 166 (71.86%) post-intervention. Paired t-tests revealed a highly significant mean difference in PMS scores (T = 12.251, p < 0.001).
