Massage therapy for premenstrual syndrome in young women
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of massage on the connective tissues (the soft tissues that support your body) can help relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in young women who have not had sex. It may offer a drug-free way to manage PMS.
