Relaxation therapy (RT) is considered to be helpful in the management of symptoms of premenstrualsyndrome (PMS). This systematic review (SR) was conducted to find the impact of RT on PMSmanagement, which could be utilized in clinical and community populations. Five major databaseslike Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, Scopus, and Web of Science were used as searchengines. The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist is used to analyze the quality of articles selectedfor this review. Only 35 different studies among 71 relevant articles which focused on the topicwere selected for this SR. All of the 35 different trials reported that the selected RTs, namely LauraMitchell, Jacobson, Benson, relaxation unnamed, yoga, aerobic exercise, and massage, significantlydecreased PMS. The outcome of this SR suggests that the selected seven RTs effectively relievePMS and ensure a productive life for all reproductive women.
