Review, 1992
What is the best treatment for PMS?
According to this review and small study, PMS treatment must be personalized based on each woman's dominant symptoms rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
What they did
The authors reviewed scientific literature on PMS diagnosis and symptoms. They also studied 4 groups of women with PMS who received different treatment programs.
What they found
Treatment effectiveness varies depending on which symptoms are most prominent. No single treatment works best for all women; treatment must match each woman's specific symptom pattern.
What it means for you
There's no single best treatment for PMS; doctors should choose treatments based on each woman's main symptoms. This is based on a small study of 4 groups without details on group sizes or which treatments were used.
