Women of reproductive age utilize various coping methods to effectively manage PMS. PRE are commonly used in women health and are regarded as an important method for managing PMS symptoms. These exercises have been found to induce positive changes in depression and anxiety. Additionally, the increased blood flow and elimination of substances such as prostaglandins from the area can play a crucial role in reducing spasms in the uterus and alleviating pain in the abdomen and pelvic region. It is also believed that PRE may exert inhibitory effects on the sympathetic nervous system.MRT has gained frequent usage in recent times and has been explored in the context of women with dysmenorrhea and PMS in the literature. This technique is known to raise the pain threshold and decrease pain intensity. It is believed that the improvements in pain management occur due to the relaxation of the fascia, which reduces sensitivity, and the subsequent increase in blood flow.Both methods offer relaxation, increased blood flow, and improved sleep quality and quality of life. Furthermore, these approaches have not been compared to each other in the literature, which prompted us to plan this study.
