Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction as a Promising Intervention for Amelioration of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Symptoms

The Relationships Between Pain‐Catastrophizing Subcomponents and Multiple Pain‐Related Outcomes in Japanese Outpatients with Chronic Pain: A Cross‐Sectional Study

“…If we additionally plan to address pain interference, adding a mindfulness‐based intervention may be appropriate. Research has shown that the mindfulness‐based intervention is able to deal with a maladaptive cognitive process . Of course, this is only an idea from the current model.…”

Emotion‐related impulsivity and rumination predict the perimenstrual severity and trajectory of symptoms in women with a menstrually related mood disorder

“…The present findings add to a small body of literature suggesting a role for dysfunctional responses to negative emotion in the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms of distress and impairment in women with an MRMD. This suggests the potential utility of emotion regulation skills training, such as in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) (Linehan, 2015), as well as other behavioral interventions that target a variety of dysfunctional responses to emotion, such as mindfulness skills training (Bluth, Gaylord, Nguyen, Bunevicius, & Girdler, 2015; Campbell, Labelle, Bacon, Faris, & Carlson, 2012; Shapiro, Oman, Thoresen, Plante, & Flinders, 2008), in the treatment of MRMDs. As is true for other disorders characterized by emotional lability (e.g., borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder), treatment with DBT may be especially useful in MRMDs due to its ability to cultivate the flexible use of either acceptance-based or change-based behavioral skills, especially in the context of rapid premenstrual alterations in emotional intensity or cognitive capacity.…”

Internet-Based Cognitive-Behavioural Intervention for Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Next to these approaches, lifestyle changes are recommended for the treatment of PMDD, particularly for mild to moderate symptoms. They include dietary recommendations [1], regular exercise [17], stress reduction skills training [18], and relaxation therapies [19]. Little evidence, however, supports the efficacy of these approaches as stand-alone treatments [20].…”
