Filter by:Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affecting up to 8% of reproductive age women. It is characterized by physical and psychological symptoms that occur in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, prior to the onset of menses, and leads to negative impact on the psychosocial functioning of affected individuals. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are usually used to treat PMDD but they have several side effects so it is important to use complementary treatment such as tryptophan-rich diet and acupuncture for women with PMDD . The purpose of the current study is to determine the combined effect of tryptophan-rich diet and acupuncture on depression related to premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a hormone-dependent mental condition that causes significant suffering in 5% of women of reproductive age worldwide. The prominent symptoms are depressed mood, irritability, mood lability and anxiety. Treatment options for PMDD are limited, with 40% non-responders. Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is a novel therapeutic technique, which is based on modulating neural activity by inducing an electric field in the brain. To date, dTMS was found to be an effective treatment for depression, which is highly comorbid with PMDD. The investigators propose to study the effect of dTMS on PMDD patients in a prospective treatment study.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety in double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials of self administered PH80 intranasal spray for the acute management of cycle related symptoms in women who regularly experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
