Background: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is defined as a cyclical disorder in the late luteal phase with
occurrence of non-specific somatic, psychological or behavioural changes. Sleep disturbances are more
common in Premenstrual syndrome. Apart from hormonal causes, micronutrients like magnesium, calcium
and zinc are also involved in the pathogenesis of Premenstrual syndrome.
Objective: To assess the Subjective sleep quality in women with Premenstrual Syndrome and its correlation
with serum Magnesium level.
Method: It is a cross- sectional study involving 175 women of age group 18-40 years. After obtaining ethical
committee clearance, Premenstrual Syndrome is diagnosed using Premenstrual syndrome scale (PMSS).
Subjective sleep quality in them are assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and then 5 ml of
venous blood are collected for Serum Magnesium Level estimation.
Results: Among the study population of 175 women with PMS, good sleep quality was reported by 87
women (49.71%) and poor sleep quality by 88 women (50.29%). The mean value of serum Magnesium level
was 1.74 ± 0.56 mg/dl. Using Pearson’s coefficient correlation, there was a positive correlation between
sleep quality and serum magnesium level which was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Magnesium replacement therapy could be beneficial in improving the poor sleep quality in
Premenstrual syndrome
