Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hormonal fluctuations occur during the menstrual cycle and can affect cognition. For example, an increase in estrogen levels has been reported to temporarily enhance auditory perception of newly formed stimuli. It has been suggested that fluctuations in hormone levels can alter cognitive performance throughout the menstrual cycle because these fluctuations impact the neurobiology of the brain regions involved in cognition and emotion processing. Mental imagery (MI) refers to the mental process in which an individual imagines performing a movement without actually executing the movement. The effects of hormonal fluctuations on cognitive-perceptual skills have been mentioned above. In light of the above information, this study was planned to examine the relationship between menstrual symptom characteristics and mental imagery ability and to compare women s mental imagery abilities according to the phases of the menstrual cycle.

menstrual cycle monitoring group

Female students between 18-25 with regular menstrual cycles

Since this was an observational study, no intervention was performed.

Intervention Type OTHER

Since it is an observational study, only evaluation will be made. Each participant s mental imagery ability will be evaluated with the Movement Imagery Vividness Questionnaire-2 four times, follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase and menstrual phase. In addition, the pain intensity experienced during menstruation will be evaluated with the Numerical Classification Scale-11, and the symptoms experienced due to menstruation will be evaluated with the Menstruation Symptom Scale.
