大多数女性都会经历经前综合症(PMS)的症状，这会降低她们的生活质量。本研究以60例经前综合征患者为研究对象，探讨呼吸训练对经前综合征患者的影响。结果表明，高频功率显著增加，唾液皮质醇、心境评分与呼吸法有显著差异(p&lt；0.05)。14名有严重经前综合症症状的女性进行了为期一个月的呼吸练习。高频功率显著增加(p&lt；0.05)，受试者报告说他们通过锻炼“神清气爽”，“不那么易怒”，“疼痛减轻”。提示呼吸锻炼对经前综合征患者有一定的松弛作用和减轻症状的作用。

Most women experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which reduces their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of the breathing exercise for women with PMS, and the subjects were sixty women with PMS. The results showed that high-frequency (HF) power increased significantly, the saliva cortisol, and the MOOD scores were changed significantly by the breathing method (p<0.05). The 14-women with severe PMS symptoms performed the breathing exercise for one month. HF power increased significantly (p<0.05), and subjects reported they were “refreshed,” “less irritable,” “pain was reduced” by the exercise. The results suggest that there are relaxation effects and PMS symptom reduction by from the breathing exercise for women with PMS.
