Abstract | Context: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent and often neglected condition that affects around 80% of women of reproductive age. In PMS, abnormal fluctuations in gonadal hormones cause altered homeostasis, resulting in sympatho-vagal imbalance and poor cognition. Aim: To compare autonomic function parameters and cognitive performance between PMS and control groups, and to study the effect of pranayama on the above parameters in PMS women. Settings and design: It was a randomized control trial. Materials and methods: We recruited 40 women of reproductive age who fit the inclusion criteria. They were asked to complete the Premenstrual Syndrome Screening Tool (PSST) questionnaire and were categorized as having PMS ( Statistical analysis used: SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data.
