In this study, we focus on the ability to recognize pain perceptions and thoughts and the ability to self-regulate cranial nerve activity occurring in the brain by self- introspection, and investigated the effects of auditory neuro-feedback training (hereinafter referred to as NFBT) incorporating breathing exercises on young women with paramenstrual symptoms. Nine out of 18 healthy women underwent alpha control training. In this study, we used the ABA method according to the menstrual cycle and intervened in the B phase. As a result, the intervention group showed a significant decrease in depression and rumination after the interventions. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was observed between the NRS improvement rate and the Pamin cycle improvement rate during menstruation throughout the study period. It was suggested that auditory NFBT using breathing techniques may be one of the methods for coping with recognizing pain and psychiatric symptoms among the paramenstrual symptoms.
