The goal of this clinical trial was to assess whether a yoga-based exercise program could improve aerobic endurance, sleep quality, and reduce menstrual symptoms and pain in young women aged 18-25 with primary dysmenorrhea. The main questions it aimed to answer were: Did yoga reduce menstrual pain and symptom severity? Did yoga improve sleep quality and aerobic endurance? Researchers compared a yoga intervention group to a control group to determine whether the yoga program led to improvements in these outcomes. Participants: Were randomly assigned to either a yoga group or a control group Completed assessments of menstrual pain (VAS), menstrual symptoms (Menstrual Symptom Scale), sleep quality (Sleep Diary), and aerobic endurance (Incremental Shuttle Walk Test and Endurance Shuttle Walk Test) In the intervention group, attended 50-minute yoga sessions twice a week for three menstrual cycles Participants in the control group were offered the same yoga program after the study period.
