Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine disorders, whose symptoms usually begin immediately after the first menstrual period. Previous studies found a significant relationship between dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of chamomile on dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This clinical trial was conducted on 70 patients diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome based on Rotterdam criteria referring to a clinic in Mashhad. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups. The first group received two 500 mg chamomile capsules per day and the second group received two placebo capsules per day for three months. The response to treatment in premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea and oligomenorrhea was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale and DSM-IV premenstrual syndrome diagnosis questionnaire.

The mean age of the patients in the intervention group was 25.43±5.58 and in the placebo group was 28.06±5.71 years. The rate of improvement in women with premenstrual syndrome (16.6%), dysmenorrhea (50%) and oligomenorrhea (26.7%) was higher in chamomile group compared to placebo. There was no statistically significant difference in body mass index between the chamomile group (25.17±4.95) and the control group (25.57±6.7).

Based on the results of this study, chamomile improved the symptoms of oligomenorrhea in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and showed positive effects on dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome. Therefore, chamomile can be used as a simple, low-cost therapy in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome patients.

Premenstrual syndrome is a set of symptoms that affect the quality of life, family relationships and social functioning of women.

(2003), Russell's Loneliness Scale (1996) and Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) by Simmons and Gaher (2005) which were performed on the participants in three stages: pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The method of analysis of this research was analysis of variance test with repeated measurement using statistical software spss version 22. The results showed that the acceptance and commitment group and the metacognitive group significantly reduced the feeling of loneliness and distress tolerance compared to the control group, but of these two groups, the metacognitive group performed better than the acceptance and commitment one in the loneliness variable but there was no significant difference between the mentioned interventions in the variable of distress tolerance.

Premenstrual syndrome is one of the most important clinical problems in women's diseases. The significance of PMS due to its more prevalence in young girls requires a deeper study and finding their own experiences.

The present qualitative study was a phenomenological approach. The study population included premenstrual syndrome, 10 people were selected by targeted sampling method. Sampling continues until data saturation. The data analysis was designed with a descriptive study method.

In this study, 4 main themes and 12 sub-themes were identified, which were: Symptomatic experience of the syndrome (experience of behavioral, emotional and cognitive patterns, physical experience of the syndrome, temporal experience of the syndrome, perception of menstrual syndrome and control or non-control of the syndrome). Experiencing the socio-cultural dimension of the syndrome (accepting or rejecting the socio-cultural context and gender perspective on the syndrome), coping strategies with the experience of the syndrome (reviewing the experience of the syndrome, accepting or not accepting the syndrome, and understanding the meaning of the syndrome). Syndrome (desire to be alone and not communicating with others and the importance of communication experiences).

The results of this study can provide many practical and clinical implications for girls with PMS and this experience is a multidimensional and multifaceted phenomenon.

The aim of this study was to explain the modeling of premenstrual syndrome based on marital satisfaction and personality traits mediated by early maladaptive schemas. The research method is cross-sectional correlation. The statistical population of this study consisted of all married students of Tehran Azad University in 1399-1400, from which 400 people were selected by stepwise cluster sampling. In this study, the tools of premenstrual syndrome (Siah Baz et al., 2011), marital satisfaction (Enrich, 1998), neo-personality traits (Costa and McCray, 1992) and early maladaptive schemas (Young, 1988) were used, all of which had acceptable validity and reliability. SPSS-V23 and Amos-V8.8 software were used to analyze the data. Structural equation modeling was also used to answer the research hypotheses. Findings showed that the model has a good fit. The results also showed that marital satisfaction had a significant direct negative effect on premenstrual syndrome. Eagerness for new experiences, agreement and responsibility have had a significant direct negative effect on PMS. Neuroticism also had a significant negative direct effect on premenstrual syndrome. Marital satisfaction has had a direct negative effect on early maladaptive schemas. Eagerness for new experiences, agreement, and responsibility have had a significant direct negative effect on early maladaptive schemas. Neuroticism also had a significant negative direct effect on premenstrual syndrome. Early maladaptive schemas had a direct effect on premenstrual syndrome. This means that the level of premenstrual syndrome increases with the increase of early maladaptive schemas. Therefore, paying attention to the mentioned variables in prevention and designing more appropriate therapies will help researchers and therapists

 Premenstrual syndrome, by affecting different aspects of women's lives, needs to be controlled. Due to the lack of knowledge of the exact cause of this syndrome, several treatments have been proposed for it. One of the treatment methods is the use of aromatherapy, The present study was performed with aim to determine the effect of aromatherapy with geranium essential oil on premenstrual syndrome in students.

This clinical trial study was conducted in 2020 on 80 students with premenstrual syndrome in Gonabad University of Medical Sciences. The subjects were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. For the intervention group (5 days before menstruation), geranium essential oil and in the control group, a placebo (odorless sweet almond oil) was used. After two consecutive menstrual cycles, the post-test questionnaire was completed. Data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software (version 22) and chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

There was no significant difference between the mean scores of the dimensions and the total score of the premenstrual syndrome questionnaire in the two intervention and control groups before the implementation of aromatherapy (p>0.05), while after the implementation of aromatherapy, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the dimensions and the total score between the two groups, so that the intensity of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome significantly decreased in the aromatherapy group (p<0.05).

Since vitamins and minerals have been suggested as possible factors affecting the severity of symptoms of this syndrome, so this study was conducted with aim to investigate the effect of vitamins and minerals on the symptoms of the syndrome.

In this narrative review study, to find the related studies, databases of SID, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched according to the keywords including premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual syndrome symptoms, minerals, and vitamins from 1980 to 2020. The clinical trial and review studies which were published and the language of them was English or Persian were selected.

Some vitamins such as vitamin E, B6, D and some minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and calcium have a positive effect on the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.

Since the optimal consumption of vitamins and minerals promotes general health, the results of this narrative review by identifying the challenges in this area, leads to the recognition and use of effective minerals and vitamins to reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.

 Premenstrual syndrome is one of the most common disorders of puberty age in women. This syndrome is associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety, stress management and anxiety reduction can probably be effective in relieving the symptoms of this syndrome. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioural stress management training on reducing depressive symptoms in women with premenstrual syndrome.

This was a quasi-experimental study of pre-test and post-test with experimental group and control group. The statistical population included all women aged 15 to 45 years in Hamadan city (Iran) who were selected from 40 patients in clusters and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of cognitive-behavioural stress management training and the control group did not receive any training. Both groups answered the short form of Beck Depression Inventory (1996) before and after the intervention and the results were analysed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

The results showed that the depressive state in the experimental group before the intervention was 26.4 ± 5.36 which after treatment and intervention reached 18.75 ± 4.56 which showed a significant decrease (P=0.01). But in the control group before the experiment, it was 26.5 ± 10.38, which reached 27.55 ± 8.74, with no significant change.

The findings of this study indicate that cognitive-behavioural stress management training was effective in reducing depressive symptoms in women with premenstrual syndrome and the results of this study can be used to develop public health.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of taping therapy on primary dysmenorrhea severity, premenstrual syndrome and its dimensions in Sardasht University students from 2018 to 2019.

In this experimental study 50 female students with moderate to severe dysmenorrhea and mild to moderate premenstrual syndrome were selected randomly and placed into control (n = 25) and intervention (n = 25) groups by blocking method. The intervention group used tape; the control group did not use anything but were attended in a free training class session. The questionnaires used in this study included demographic and menstrual characteristics questionnaire, visual analog scale questionnaire, premenstrual syndrome checklist and Moos menstrual distress questionnaire. Data obtained from these questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test, paired t-test, chi-square test and ANCOVA.

  There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in regard to the demographic characteristics (P <0.05). The mean scores of dysmenorrhea, menstrual distress questionnaires and its dimensions except for arousal, were not significantly different between the intervention and control groups before the intervention (P <0.05). Also, there was no significant difference between the groups in relation to the total scores of dysmenorrhea, menstrual distress questionnaires and its dimensions, except for severity of dysmenorrhea after the intervention (P <0.05). Results of ANCOVA after controlling the confounding variables, showed only a significant difference between the control and intervention groups in regard to the severity of dysmenorrhea (P <0.05).

The results of this study showed that taping therapy can be used as an effective non-pharmacological method in the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of training mindfulness skills on depression, anxiety and stress of female with premenstrual syndrome.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design with one-month follow-up. The statistical population included female student’s high school of Karaj city. 34 patients were chosen as samples and randomly were divided in 2 groups of individuals as control and experimental. The experimental groups underwent training mindfulness (8 sessions - 90 minutes), but the control group received no training and remained in the waiting list. To collect data premenstrual symptoms screening tool (PSST) of Steiner and et al and depression anxiety stress Scale (DASS) of Lovibond and Lovibond. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-24 software in two sections: descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (analysis of variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni).

Results indicated that training mindfulness, significantly decreased depression, anxiety and stress of female with premenstrual syndrome, and the results have had enough consistency in the follow-up period, as well (P<0.05).

The training mindfulness skills can be used as an effective psychological intervention on depression, anxiety and stress of female with premenstrual syndrome

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in addition to reducing the quality of life, correspondingly affects the social and economic performance of individuals and their daily lives. The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of PMS and some related factors among female students of Yasuj University of Medical Sciences in 2018.

In the present descriptive-analytic study, 193 female students of Yasuj University of Medical Sciences whom met the inclusion criteria, were selected through convenience sampling. In addition to demographic form, the PSST questionnaire (to screen the premenstrual syndrome) and short form of WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL) were used. After receiving the ethics code, required permissions, and the informed consent form, the research questionnaires were filled out by the participants. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS software version 21 using descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, and Chi square, t-test as well as ANOVA tests.

In this study 73 students (37.8%) had PMS and 24 students (12.4%) had PMDD. The results displayed that people with physical activity had significantly less PMS or PMDD than those without physical activity (p <0.05). There was no significant difference in mean body mass index in the three groups of people with PMS, PMDD and healthy (p> 0.05). The results correspondingly indicated that the mean of physical and psychological dimensions of quality of life in healthy people was significantly higher than the two groups with PMS and PMMD (p <0.05).

Given the relatively high prevalence of PMS among college students, the attention of university officials to this issue and the development of students’ mental health is important. Due to the association of this disease with physical activity and exercise, encouraging students to do regular exercise can reduce the severity of PMS symptoms and its complications.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is experiencing some physical and psychological symptoms in the last days of the menstrual cycle; it interferes with educational, social and family functioning, creating problems for the adolescents. The objective of this study was to determinee the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic treatment program on anxiety, depression and stress in female adolescents with premenstrual syndrome and their motherschr('39') quality of life.

They were divided randomly in 2 groups, namely, an intervention (n=12, attending six 90-minute session per week‎) and a control (n=14) group. Data were gathered using the WHO Quality of Life, Beck depression, the DASS and PMS Screening Tool (PSST) questionnaires initially and after one month. The repeated ANOVA test was used for data analysis using SPSS software version 21; a p-value of <5% was considered to show statistical significance.

As compared to the control group, at the end of the period the intervention group showed a statistically significant decrease in the means of the three variables of depression, anxiety and stress (p <0.05). The decrease significantly improved the quality of life of the mothers.

The findings of this study show that a transdiagnostic treatment program can be an effective method to reduce the psychological problems of adolescent girls and improve the quality of life of their mothers.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a set of physical and psychological symptoms of menstruation in women which is one of the most common disorders of reproductive age. Several early articles have been published on the effect of aromatherapy on the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. However, a comprehensive study was not found that shows the results of these studies uniformly and clearly, so this study was performed with aim to determine the effect of aromatherapy on the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome using systematic review.

To achieve the studies related to the research objective, databases of SID, Magiran, Pubmed, Google scholar, Scopus and Science direct were searched without time limit until 2021 using the keywords of premenstrual syndrome, aromatherapy in both Persian and English and all possible combinations with the use of operators of OR, AND. Qualitative evaluation of the studies was performed by the consortium checklist.

Seven plant extracts and essential oils were evaluated in 10 clinical trial studies which met the inclusion criteria. Most of the essential oils studied in the articles had antioxidant and flavonoid compounds with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antidepressant properties and had a beneficial effect on relieving PMS symptoms. The majority of these essential oils had no or minimal side effects. Performing meta-analysis was not possible due to the heterogeneity of the studies' methodology and the difference of effects assessment tools.

Due to the positive effect of using plant extracts and essential oils in reducing the physical and psychological symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, it can be considered as an alternative treatment for women with premenstrual syndrome.

Premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea have a negative effect on the personal and social performance of patients. According to the background review, nutrition can play a key role in the prevalence and severity of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the relationship between nutritional pattern of female students and premenstrual syndrome and primary dysmenorrhea.

In this descriptive study, 314 female students of Rafsanjan medical sciences departments participated in 2018 as a quota. Data were collected using the Feed Frequency Questionnaire, Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool, and Dysmenorrhea Scale. After collecting, data were entered into SPSS version 18 software and then analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

The average daily intake of various foods per day was 3208.21±1664.16, premenstrual syndrome score 27.67±10.99 and dysmenorrhea score 5.47±2.37. Among the different food groups, there was only a weak, inverse and significant relationship between dairy consumption and premenstrual syndrome (p= 0.005, r= -0.164). There was also no significant relationship between dysmenorrhea score and dietary patterns.

With increasing dairy consumption by female students, premenstrual syndrome in these students decreases. Due to the weakness of this relationship in the present study, there is a need for further research in this field.
