The data of 77 women were analyzed. Data were analyzed by a statistician out of the research team. The three groups did not differ significantly in mean score age, education, awareness of having PMS, and the half of menstrual cycle at the baseline (Table Comparison of the participants’ demographic data in the three groups.ANOVA for comparison of age in three groups.Chi-square for comparison of awareness of having PMS, and half of menstrual cycle at the baseline in three groups.Fisher's exact test for comparison of education in three groups.Comparison amount of Vitamin D3 at baseline, week 6, and week10 was demonstrated in Table Comparison of 25 hydroxy-vitamin D3 serum level at baseline, week6, and week10.Repeated Measures for comparison of 25 hydroxy-vitamin D3 serum level at baseline, week6, and week10.There was no statistically significant difference in terms of PMS in the baseline between the three groups respectively (33 ± 5.8, 34.10 ± 7.10, & 35.20 ± 6.40, P = 0.500). However, at week 10 follow-up, there was a statistically significant difference (Comparison of mean PMS scores in the three groups.ANOVA for comparison of main primary outcome premenstrual syndrome mean scores between groups.Repeated measures for main primary outcome comparison of premenstrual syndrome mean scores within groups.The satisfaction with the intervention method differed significantly among the three groups at week 6 (51 ± 6.8, 46.4 ± 12, & 42.3 ± 6.3, P = 0.001) and follow-up at week 10 (55.7 ± 11.6, 51.4 ± 12; & 43 ± 3.3, Comparison of mean satisfaction with the intervention score in the three groups.ANOVA for comparison of main primary outcome satisfaction with the intervention method mean scores between groups.Paired samples t-test for main primary outcome comparison of satisfaction with the intervention method mean scores within groups.
