Summary

Digital solutions are becoming increasingly prevalent, addressing health concerns through innovative means has become imperative. Among these concerns, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) stands out as a significant challenge that affecting the physical and emotional well-being of women of reproductive age. Despite previous studies demonstrating the effectiveness of health education for PMS, there remains a gap in providing accessible and evidence-based interventions. The present study aims to fill this gap leveraging technology to deliver targeted information and support to women. For this reason, the purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based health education in university students with PMS. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does web-based education lower the premenstrual symptoms in university students with PMS?
* Does web-based education improve the quality of life in university students with PMS?

Researchers compared web-based education to a control (no special intervention) to see if intervention works to management PMS. Intervention group participants received web-based education with weekly updates about PMS (definition, symptoms, treatment etc.) and management strategies for 4 weeks.
