The aim of this study is to determine the effect of su-jok application and progressive muscle relaxation exercise in coping with premenstrual syndrome.
Various medications can be used to relieve PMS symptoms, but there is no treatment to completely eliminate it. For this reason, women may seek traditional and alternative practices to reduce PMS complaints. Alternative methods such as herbal treatment, aromatherapy, acupuncture, nutrition regulation and stress control can be used to relieve PMS symptoms. It has been stated that applying mind-body based therapies to relieve PMS symptoms is safe and cost-effective. Such interventions include progressive muscle relaxation exercise (PCGE), paced breathing, clinical hypnosis, yoga, mindfulness, reflexology, and cognitive behavioral therapies. Su-Jok application, which is an alternative method, can also be used to relieve PMS symptoms. In Su-Jok therapy, the practitioner stimulates points on the hands and feet to activate auto-regulatory mechanisms and bring the body to a healthy state. Due to the negative effects of PMS on daily life, knowing the frequency of occurrence and risk factors is expected to contribute and guide individuals in coping with PMS. While PMS threatens the health of the individual in particular, it generally brings socio-economic burdens to the individual, family and society.
