Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is defined as a set of recurrent physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms affecting women, which occur cyclically during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle or within a few days after the onset of menstruation. Women with premenstrual boredom syndrome endure many psychological problems. Emotion regulation, such as anger and arousal, plays a very crucial role in the treatment of other psychological issues of this syndrome. So far, many pharmaceutical and non–pharmacological treatments have been used for PMDD. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) of the brain is a non–invasive technique. There is very little research on the effect of tDCS on emotion regulation. Also, no study has investigated the impact of tDCS on PMDD and its psychological symptoms. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of tDCS on the brain in regulating the emotions of patients with PMDD.

This quasi–experimental study employed a pretest–posttest design with a control group. Among the women suffering from PMDD in Yazd City, Iran, 30 eligible volunteers in the age range of 30 to 40 years entered the study in a simple random manner. Fifteen were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 15 to the control group. The inclusion criteria were as follows: having PMDD confirmed by a gynecologist and obstetrician, the age range of 30 to 40 years, and not using other treatment methods such as drug therapy and psychotherapy. The exclusion criteria included absence from one session of tDCS and not completing the questionnaire during the study. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) (Gratz & Romer, 2004) compared emotion regulation variable scores at two time points, before and after tDCS. Data analysis was done using covariance analysis. The significance level of the tests was 0.05.

Data analysis showed that the score of the emotion regulation test in women with PMDD in the intervention group and after receiving the treatment decreased significantly compared to the control group (p<0.001). Based on the effect size results, 58% of the difference between the intervention and control groups was due to the implementation of tDCS.

According to the results, tDCS can be used as a complementary therapy to improve emotion regulation in women with PMDD.

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 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).

In flight- avoidance strategy, PMS group was higher than normal group (p < 0.05) and PMDD group had higher levels than PMS group (p < 0.01). In distancing strategy, PMDD group had significantly higher levels of scores than PMS group (p < 0.05) and normal group (p < 0.01). There was no significant defferences in pecieved stress and social support between sample groups.

This quasi-experimental study was performed on 149 students in the grade of Junior high school and senior high school which were selected by random sampling. The participants completed the standard questionnaire for the screening of premenstrual symptoms in order to measure the mood, physical symptoms and effects of these symptoms in the three stages before and after 16 weeks of iron and 9 months of vitamin D supplementation. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16) using Chi-square test, repeat ANOVA, one-way ANOVA and Friedman non-parametric test were analyzed at a significant level less than 0.05. There were 56 students (37.6%) in the PMS group, 19 (12.8%) in the PMDD group and 74 (49.7%) in the non-affected group. The comparison of scores in three study periods showed that the severity of affective symptoms (p=0.005) and effects of the symptoms (p=0.015) in the PMDD group, and only the effects of symptoms (p=0.011) in the PMS group, were reduced, But there was no change in the scores of somatic symptoms in these two groups. In non-affected group, the scores of these three areas showed a significant increase. The Iron and vitamin D supplementation may reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Further studies are recommended in this area

Many women in fertile period of their lives experience some bothering mental and physical symptoms that begin around 7-10 days before menses (lutheal phase) and cease in the first days of menstrual bleeding. After presentation of the Text Revision of the Fourth version of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of psychiatric disorders (DSM-IV), these symptoms already known as Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) were called Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). This process was associated with addition of some criteria about duration and intensity. The prevalence of PMS has been estimated to be about 40% to 70% but severe signs (PMDD) have lower prevalence. This study has evaluated the frequency of PMS and PMDD and some related factors in students of girls&rsquo; high schools in Kermanshah.

Methods and Materials:

 In this descriptive-analytic study, 800 students of girls&rsquo; high schools were chosen by randomized cluster sampling. A researcher made questionnaire assessing PMS and PMDD according to DSM.IV.TR criteria as well as a demographic questionnaire were administered to participants. Data were analyzed running SPSS software -version 11.5.

Frequencies of PMS and PMDD were 41.5% and 9.4% respectively. The disorder was more frequent in students older than 16 years old. Mood symptoms were the most frequent presentation, followed by physical and behavioral symptoms. There was a lower frequency of the disorder despite a higher frequency of the syndrome in students with highly educated mothers. The frequency of PMS was higher in students with positive family history.&nbsp;

Because of the potential adverse effects of PMS and PMDD on academic achievement and mental health of students, the high frequency of these problems need urgent attention. Planning mental health evaluations and interventions is necessary for these age group students. Diagnosis of severe cases and referring them should be considered in such programs.&nbsp;
