Filter by:The efficacy of SSRI use to relieve the symptoms associated with premenstrual dysphoric disorder has been established. We proposed to test the hypothesis that intermittent treatment with paroxetine administered during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle only is more effective than placebo in improving symptoms of PMDD. This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm parallel group study of patients with PMDD. Menstruating women 18 years of age or older who met criteria for inclusion in the study were randomized to one of three arms: paroxetine 10mg/day during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle; paroxetine 20mg/day during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle; placebo daily during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent treatment of paroxetine in women with PMDD.
This study is being done to determine if there are differences in mood during the menstrual cycle among women with epilepsy who take various different antiepileptic drugs and women without epilepsy.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of flutamide in reducing symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of sertraline in reducing symptoms in women diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of Levetiracetam in the treatment of symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in an open label study.
The objective of this study is to explore the onset of action when serotonin reuptake inhibitors are used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder
This study will determine whether uninterrupted treatment with birth control pills over several menstrual cycles prevents severe premenstrual syndrome (PMDD). Previous studies have shown that the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulate mood in women with MRMD. This study will use various treatment regimens with birth control pills and placebo (sugar pill) to clarify the relationships among estrogen and progesterone, the menstrual cycle, and mood. Healthy women between 18 and 45 years of age who menstruate may be eligible for this 15-week study. Candidates are screened with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, an electrocardiogram, and 3 months of symptoms ratings to confirm MRMD. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. Group 1 takes a birth control pill every day and on three occasions takes a placebo capsule. Group 2 takes a birth control pill most but not all days and on three occasions takes a placebo capsule. Group 3 takes a birth control pill every day and on three occasions takes another medication called CDB-2914 that causes menstrual bleeding to occur. Participants come to the NIH clinic every other week for blood tests and measurement of vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, and temperature) and to complete symptoms ratings scales. Subjects who develop breakthrough bleeding (menstruation earlier than expected) will have a transvaginal ultrasound. For this procedure, a probe is inserted into the vagina for about 10 minutes. The probe gives off and receives sound waves that can be used to form a picture of the endometrium (lining of the uterus).
