“…The reasons for discontinuation of the study for the 19 subjects (12 controls, 7 women with PMS) who initially met eligibility but did not complete the entire protocol were the following: inconsistencies/lack of compliance with menstrual cycle reports or scheduling of assessments (12), decision to start oral contraceptives (4), positive pregnancy test (2), and an accident resulting in leg-fracture (1). Before entry into the study, prospective participants were screened using the German version of the premenstrual symptoms screening tool (PSST) [5], [35], which is a valid and reliable instrument for PMS/PMDD screening, and assigned to either the PMS group ( n = 15) or the control group ( n = 15). Demographic details of the subjects can be found in Table 1; groups were matched for degree of education, profession and parity.…”

Menstrual Cycle Phase Modulates Emotional Conflict Processing in Women with and without Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) – A Pilot Study

et al. 2013

BackgroundPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) is characterized by a cluster of psychological and somatic symptoms during the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle that disappear after the onset of menses. Behavioral differences in emotional and cognitive processing have been reported in women with PMS, and it is of particular interest whether PMS affects the parallel execution of emotional and cognitive processing. Related to this is the question of how the performance of women with PMS relates to stress levels compared to women without PMS. Cortisol has been shown to affect emotional processing in general and it has also been shown that women with severe PMS have a particular cortisol profile.MethodsWe measured performance in an emotional conflict task and stress levels in women with PMS (n = 15) and women without PMS (n = 15) throughout their menstrual cycle.ResultsWe found a significant increase (p = 0.001) in the mean reaction time for resolving emotional conflict from the follicular to the luteal cycle phase in all subjects. Only women with PMS demonstrated an increase in physiological and subjective stress measures during the luteal menstrual cycle phase.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the menstrual cycle modulates the integration of emotional and cognitive processing in all women. Preliminary data are supportive of the secondary hypothesis that stress levels are mediated by the menstrual cycle phase only in women with PMS. The presented evidence for menstrual cycle-specific differences in integrating emotional and cognitive information highlights the importance of controlling for menstrual cycle phase in studies that aim to elucidate the interplay of emotion and cognition.

“…After completing the informed consent form, all participants underwent a screening to control for inclusion and exclusion criteria including questionnaires regarding menstrual cycle and OC history, gynecological history (e.g., premenstrual syndrome-PSST; Bentz et al, 2012), pregnancies, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome etc. ), verbal intelligence (WST; Schmidt and Metzler, 1992), executive functioning (TMT; Reitan, 1992) and the German version of the Structured Clinical Interview (SCID; Wittchen et al, 1997) to exclude a history of mental illness.…”

Friend vs. Foe: Cognitive and Affective Empathy in Women With Different Hormonal States

et al. 2021

Empathy is crucial for social functioning as well as social coherence. It can be influenced by modulatory factors such as familiarity and liking (i.e., emotional closeness). Furthermore, there are first hints that hormonal status may modulate affective but not cognitive empathy in women. The aim of this study was to investigate potential separate as well as combined modulatory effects of emotional closeness and hormonal status on female cognitive and affective empathy. Three hormonal status groups of women (n = 62) were studied: (1) naturally-cycling (NC) women in the early follicular phase (fNC), (2) NC women during periovulatory phase (oNC), and (3) oral contraceptive (OC) users. All women underwent a newly developed empathy task (i.e., Tübinger Empathy Test, TET) presenting textual descriptions of positive and negative emotional scenes relating to three different perspectives (i.e., self vs. friend vs. enemy/disliked person). Regardless of hormonal status, empathic responses were higher for the friend compared to the enemy perspective for both empathy components. However, cognitive empathy was less affected by varying emotional closeness toward the target person than affective empathy. Hormonal status modulated only affective empathy. OC users showed significantly less affective empathy toward the enemy compared to the fNC women. Overall, affective empathy seems more sensitive to modulatory effects of emotional closeness and hormonal status than cognitive empathy. Possible implications of this current investigation for future research on empathy and OC use, contraceptive education as well as for other clinical applications are discussed.

ZusammenfassungBeim prämenstruellen Syndrom und der prämenstruellen dysphorischen Störung handelt es sich um episodisch in der 2. Zyklushälfte auftretende psychische und physische Symptome mit relevanter sozialer und beruflicher Beeinträchtigung im Alltag. Assoziierte depressive Symptome umfassen Stimmungsschwankungen, Depressivität und Gereiztheit, weshalb affektive Störungen eine relevante Differenzialdiagnose darstellen. Etwa 3–8 % aller Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter leiden an einem prämenstruellen Syndrom, während etwa 2 % von einer prämenstruellen dysphorischen Störung betroffen sind. Es werden genetische und soziobiografische Risikofaktoren diskutiert. Darüber hinaus werden genetische Polymorphismen spezifischer Hormonrezeptoren als ursächlich angenommen. Pathophysiologisch zentral scheint eine komplexe Interaktion von zyklischen hormonellen Veränderungen und dem zentralen Neurotransmitterhaushalt zu sein. Ein Ungleichgewicht der Wirkungen von Östrogen und Progesteron in der Lutealphase wird als endokrine Ursache der Symptomatik angenommen. Aus diesem Grunde wird häufig ein initialer Therapieversuch mittels Progesteronsubstitution in der zweiten Zyklushälfte durchgeführt, wobei die Evidenz diesbezüglich begrenzt ist. Auch die Gabe oraler kombinierter Kontrazeptiva stellt eine Option dar. Insbesondere für die Behandlung mit selektiven Serotoninwiederaufnahmehemmer (SSRI) existieren zahlreiche Wirkbelege. In schweren Fällen kann die Gabe von GnRH(Gonadotropin-Releasing-Hormon)-Analoga mit Add-back-Therapie erwogen werden. Insbesondere im Bereich affektiver Störungen stellen prämenstruelle Syndrome klinisch relevante Differenzialdiagnosen und Komorbiditäten dar, die Behandler vor besondere klinische Herausforderungen stellen. Diese Übersichtsarbeit soll der Leserschaft daher eine klinische Orientierung im Umgang mit diesem Störungsbild geben.
