Background: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy of psychological interventions for premenstrual syndrome. Methods: We systematically searched and selected studies that enrolled women with premenstrual syndrome in which investigators randomly assigned them to a psychological intervention or to a control intervention. Trials were included irrespective of their outcomes and, when possible, we conducted meta-analyses. Results: Nine randomized trials, of which 5 tested cognitive behavioural therapy, contributed data to the meta-analyses. Low quality evidence (design and implementation weaknesses of the studies, possible reporting bias) suggests that cognitive behavioural therapy significantly reduces both anxiety (effect size [ES] = –0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI] = –1.15 to –0.01; number needed to treat [NNT] = 5), and depression (ES = –0.55; 95% CI = –1.05 to –0.05; NNT = 5), and also suggests a possible beneficial effect on behavioural changes (ES = –0.70; 95% CI = –1.29 to –0.10; NNT = 4) and interference of symptoms on daily living (ES = –0.78; 95% CI = –1.53 to –0.03; NNT = 4). Results provide much more limited support for monitoring as a form of therapy and suggest the ineffectiveness of education. Conclusions: Low quality evidence from randomized trials suggests that cognitive behavioural therapy may have important beneficial effects in managing symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome.

“…However, several studies indicate that women with significant premenstrual mood symptoms report life events as more stressful and/or less positive during the premenstruum than compared to the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (Gallant et al, 1992;Woods et al, 1998), although they do not experience an increased frequency of stressful life events compared to healthy menstruating women or males (Schmidt et al, 1990;Lewis, 1995). Thus, it is the perception of events as more stressful that could render women with PMDD in a more aversive state and heighten their baseline response to the startle procedure.…”

Luteal-Phase Accentuation of Acoustic Startle Response in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

Alterations in central nervous system response to menstrual cycle-related fluctuations in neuroactive steroids are thought to underlie the emergence of negative affect in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Such changes in the neuroendocrine milieu may lead to heightened arousal and response to stress in women with PMDD. Using the acoustic startle paradigm, we sought to determine whether women with PMDD have an accentuated physiologic response to a mildly aversive stimulus during the luteal compared to follicular phase. Further, we also examined the impact of visual affective stimuli on acoustic startle response (ASR) magnitude. During the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, acoustic stimuli (103 dB) were delivered to 15 women with PMDD and 14 healthy menstruating women of similar age. After obtaining baseline ASR, the procedure was repeated when subjects viewed pleasant, neutral and unpleasant pictures. There was a significant group by menstrual cycle phase interaction for baseline ASR magnitude, which can be attributed to the heightened startle magnitude in women with PMDD compared to healthy women during the luteal relative to the follicular phase. The direction and degree to which picture viewing modulated the startle magnitude did not vary by group or menstrual cycle phase. These data suggest that menstrual cycle phase has a powerful modulatory effect on physiologic reactivity in women with PMDD but not in healthy women. Physiologic response to affective stimuli appears to be intact in women with PMDD across the menstrual cycle.

“…In addition, a more fine-grained analysis of the antecedents of crying in the different phases of the menstrual cycle may yield valuable information. In addition, there is a need for studies that focus 16 explicitly on the role of sociocultural factors in the association of crying to the menstrual cycle, especially cultural variations in attitudes towards menstruation. The Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire 31 , has been shown to be valuable in interpreting such cultural differences 32 .…”

“…Longitudinal studies in which women were not aware of being in a study on menstrual cycle effects, have shown that women are less likely to report decreased mood during the typical PMS days [13][14][15][16][17] . The same might be true for crying.…”

Crying is generally associated with distress and discomfort and is also part of the premenstrual syndrome in women. Therefore the present studies focused on crying fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. First, a retrospective cross-cultural study among women from 33 different countries (N= 2447) was conducted. Crying proneness reportedly increased before menstruation, with remarkable cross-cultural differences. Women using oral contraceptives (OC) largely reported the same pattern of results as women not using OC. In a second study, 82 Dutch students kept a crying and mood diary for two consecutive menstrual cycles. During no phase of the menstrual cycle, actual crying episodes nor crying proneness was increased, although significant changes in mood were reported. Given the large cross-cultural differences on the one hand, and the remarkable correspondence between the self-reports of those using OC and those who do not use OC on the other hand, it is concluded that the role of female sex hormone fluctuations in crying has to be questioned. Rather, it seems more likely that fluctuations in self-reported crying are based on implicit theories on the relation between menstrual cycle, mood, and crying 3
