This research aimed to assess the efficacy of VENETRON (R) in addressing both psychological and physical complaints associated with menstruation, conducted on healthy women experiencing complaints related to menstruation. The study employed a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled methodology. Evaluation of 8 crucial subscales, including pain, water retention, autonomic reactions, negative effect, concentration, behavioral change, arousal, and control, was carried out using a menstrual distress questionnaire (MDQ) throughout the menstrual cycle.

The MDQ results demonstrated that VENETRON (R) is effective in alleviating both psychological and physical complaints occurring BEFORE and DURING menstruation. Considering VENETRON (R) is one of Tokiwa's representative products aimed at sleep quality improvement, it was also evaluated in this research by the Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi Sleep Inventory for Middle-age and Aged version (OSA-MA). The result indicated that VENETRON (R) improves sleep quality. This outcome suggests that VENETRON (R) could potentially improve sleep quality for a wide range of individuals, including women experiencing menstruation-related discomfort.
