Summary

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common condition among young women, characterized by physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that negatively affect quality of life. Laughter yoga, a non-pharmacological mind-body intervention combining breathing techniques, relaxation, and intentional laughter, has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance well-being. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on PMS symptoms and quality of life in young women.
