control group (A)

study group (B)

Arm Description

Group A: (control group): 20 participants Medical treatment in the form of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Group B: (Study group): 20 participants Medical treatment in the form of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Physical therapy program weight reduction by diet program in the form of caloric restriction, in combination to aerobic exercise in the form of using treadmill 30 minutes /3 times a week for 12 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Progesterone levels in blood
progesterone level will be checked six to eight days after ovulation start (about day 21st of a 28-day cycle)
body weight
Weight and height measurement will be measured while the woman is wearing a thin layer of clothes to calculate the BMI according to the following equation for both groups (A&B): BMI = weight/height2 (kg/m2).
pain level
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. For example, the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none to an extreme amount of pain. From the patient's perspective this spectrum appears continuous ± their pain does not take discrete jumps, as a categorization of none, mild, moderate and severe would suggest. It was to capture this idea of an underlying continuum that the VAS was devised. Operationally a VAS is usually a horizontal line, 100 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end. The patient marks on the line the point that they feel represents their perception of their current state. The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimetres from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks
Premenstrual syndrome questionnaire (PSQ):
Premenstrual symptoms comprise a wide range of mood, behavioral, and physical symptoms occurring during the luteal phase. The PPSQ, is a patient-reported outcome measurement tool to detect the severity of premenstrual symptoms. The PMS scales assess ten domains of symptoms: the observer rates the 10 domains by severity with a range of 0 to 4 in eight domains and 0 to 2 in two domains, for a maximum total score of 36.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study will be investigation of the effect of weight reduction and aerobic exercises on premenstrual syndrome symptoms in obese females.
Detailed Description
both groups (A&B) will take their medical treatment in the form of (NSAIDs) and the study group B will under go a siet plan which will fits the participants. Diet plan extends for 12 weeks in the form of caloric restriction program and each woman in group B will perform aerobic exercise program, in the form of treadmill 3 times/week for 8 weeks for 12 weeks. Each session will take about 30 minutes as the following: 5 minutes warming up exercises by walking on the treadmill by low speed, 20 minutes walking at moderate intensity (70% of the maximal heart rate) and 5 minutes are cooling down by walking on the treadmill by low speed as in warming up.
