Aerobic Exercises Versus Sub Occipital Myofascial Release on Memory Function in Females With Premenstrual Syndrome.

Обзор

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of aerobic exercises versus sub occipital Myofascial release on memory functions in females with premenstrual syndrome.

Подробное описание

The pooled prevalence of reproductive age women affected with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) worldwide amounts to 47.8%. Among these, about 20% of women experience symptoms severe enough to disrupt their daily activities, and the remaining have mild to moderate symptoms. They can experience an exacerbation of insomnia, memory problems, difficulty maintaining focus, and fatigue in the both follicular phase and luteal phase, but more noticed during the luteal phase. Memory deficit could affect those women social activities and one's daily positive functioning. Therefore, some females and their providers seek alternative treatments such as Aerobic exercise which represents a cost-effective, widely available, natural, and self-administered treatment with no adverse side effects, and it is reported that Aerobic exercise resulted in 16.5% increase in hippocampal volume and 53.7% increase in memory, as well as increased hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity.

And also, it is found the noticed role of suboccipital muscles release in improving memory functions through enhancing cerebral blood flow to the brain via vertebral artery, and also regulation of cortisol level that interferes with memory and stress.

Till now, there is no previous study illustrating the difference between the effect of aerobic exercise and sub occipital muscle release on memory functions in females with PMS. So, this study will be the first one in this issue. Therefore, it will have valuable benefits in physical therapy field and scientific research.

  A moderate-intensity aerobic exercise session on a treadmill consists of three phases: warm-up, active phase, and cool-down. The warm-up lasts 5-10 minutes and involves walking at minimum speed (2.0 - 3.0 km/h) with a slight incline (1 -2%) or as tolerated. The active phase, lasting 20-30 minutes, maintains a brisk walking or light jogging pace with moderate speed (4.5-6.5 km/h) or as tolerated. This phase can include steady-state jogging or intervals of walking and jogging to sustain cardiovasc
• Другое Sub occipital myofascial release
  The patient will be asked to take a supine position, and a pillow will be placed under the patient's head for comfort until starting the procedure, the patient will be instructed to be relaxed, then the therapist will sit at the head of the bed and will place both hands underneath the patient's head in the occipital region. The therapist should then feel for the occipital ridge along the scalp and move the hands slightly caudal until the muscle is felt. The therapist then will flex the fingers u
