Review, 1998
What approaches are most suitable for treating premenstrual syndrome?
PMS should be treated with individualized therapy based on each woman's specific symptoms and the underlying neuroendocrinological imbalance responsible for her symptoms.
What they did
Literature review of various therapeutic approaches to premenstrual syndrome.
What they found
Multiple aetological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms contribute to PMS development, with different symptoms being dominant in different women. Treatment should be chosen based on the specific system dysfunction and neuroendocrinological imbalance present.
What it means for you
This review emphasizes that PMS is not a one-size-fits-all condition and treatment needs to be personalized. However, the review does not specify which treatments are recommended for which symptoms, nor does it provide evidence for any specific approach.
