Does cognitive-behavioral counseling help adolescent girls with PMS build resilience?
The abstract does not provide the study results, so we cannot tell if the counseling helped.
What they did
Researchers randomly assigned 120 Iranian girls aged 15-17 with moderate-to-severe PMS into two equal groups. One group received 8 sessions of cognitive-behavioral counseling (60 minutes each, once weekly for 8 weeks), and the other group received no treatment. PMS symptoms and resilience were measured using standard scales.
What they found
The abstract does not report the study results or findings.
What it means for you
We cannot determine from this abstract whether cognitive-behavioral counseling helps adolescents with PMS improve resilience or reduce symptoms. The full study publication is needed to understand the effectiveness of this intervention.
