“…All subjects underwent 2 months of prospective daily ratings using the Daily Record of Severity of Problems (DRSP; Endicott and Harrison, 1990;Endicott et al, 2006) to confirm diagnosis of PMDD or status as a healthy control. Participants had regular menstrual cycles of 24-39 days duration, which were relatively consistent in length (between cycles) within subjects.…”

“…The DRSP (Endicott and Harrison, 1990;Endicott et al, 2006) requires women to rate their mood and physical symptoms on a scale of 1 to 6 with '1' indicating that the symptom is 'not at all' present and '6' indicating that the symptom is 'extreme'. The final three questions included in the DRSP assess the degree to which any PMDD symptom interferes with hobbies or social life, work, and/or interpersonal relationships.…”

Alterations in central nervous system response to menstrual cycle-related fluctuations in neuroactive steroids are thought to underlie the emergence of negative affect in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Such changes in the neuroendocrine milieu may lead to heightened arousal and response to stress in women with PMDD. Using the acoustic startle paradigm, we sought to determine whether women with PMDD have an accentuated physiologic response to a mildly aversive stimulus during the luteal compared to follicular phase. Further, we also examined the impact of visual affective stimuli on acoustic startle response (ASR) magnitude. During the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, acoustic stimuli (103 dB) were delivered to 15 women with PMDD and 14 healthy menstruating women of similar age. After obtaining baseline ASR, the procedure was repeated when subjects viewed pleasant, neutral and unpleasant pictures. There was a significant group by menstrual cycle phase interaction for baseline ASR magnitude, which can be attributed to the heightened startle magnitude in women with PMDD compared to healthy women during the luteal relative to the follicular phase. The direction and degree to which picture viewing modulated the startle magnitude did not vary by group or menstrual cycle phase. These data suggest that menstrual cycle phase has a powerful modulatory effect on physiologic reactivity in women with PMDD but not in healthy women. Physiologic response to affective stimuli appears to be intact in women with PMDD across the menstrual cycle.

“…The occurrence of premenstrual symptoms was measured by the short form of the Daily Record of Severity Problems Scale (DRSP, Endicott et al 2006), translated into Portuguese. The DRSP is a 14-item self-report instrument, which accesses the presence of symptoms of common occurrence in the premenstrual period and their impact in the global functioning.…”

“…Each participant was directed to evaluate the occurrence of symptoms at the end of each day by applying a score on a 6-point scale: 1 = not at all, 2 = minimal 3 = mild; 4 = moderate, 5 = severe, 6 = extreme. Although initially designed to reflect DSM-IV criteria for PMDD, the DRSP can also be used to assess lesser degrees of severity of the premenstrual syndrome to track daily levels of severity of symptoms and impairment (Endicott et al, 2006).…”

Lovick, T., Guapo, V. G., Amselmo-Franci, J. A., Loureiro, C. M., Faleiros, C. M., Del Ben, C. M., & Brandão, M. L. (2017). A specific profile of luteal phase progesterone is associated with the development of premenstrual symptoms.

Full terms of use are available: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/pure/about/ebr-terms There is a consensus that the development of premenstrual dysphoric states is related to cyclical change in gonadal hormone secretion during the menstrual cycle.However, results from studies seeking to link symptom severity to luteal phase progesterone concentration have been equivocal. In the present study we evaluated not only the absolute concentrations of progesterone but also the kinetics of the change in progesterone concentration in relation to development of premenstrual symptoms during the last 10 days of the luteal phase in a population of 46 healthy young adult Brazilian women aged 18-39 years, mean 26.5±6.7 years. In participants who developed symptoms of premenstrual distress, daily saliva progesterone concentration remained stable during most of the mid-late luteal phase, before declining sharply during the last 3 days prior to onset of menstruation. In contrast, progesterone concentration in asymptomatic women underwent a gradual decline over the last 8 days prior to menstruation. Neither maximum nor minimum concentrations of progesterone in the two groups were related to the appearance or severity of premenstrual symptoms. We propose that individual differences in the kinetics of progesterone secretion and/or metabolism may confer differential susceptibility to the development of premenstrual syndrome.

“…While PMDD may be well differentiated from PMS by applying the DSM-5 PMDD diagnostic criteria (Table 2), the differential diagnostics of PMS are more of a challenge. Several tools are available, but the Daily Record of Severity of Problems (DRSP) form, which has been validated as a prospectively self-administered questionnaire, is the most commonly used at least in English-speaking countries [9]. The DRSP consists of 17 common PMS symptoms, including 11 symptoms from the DSM-5 PMDD diagnostic criteria.…”

Premenstrual disorders (PMD) can affect women throughout their entire reproductive years. In 2016, an interdisciplinary expert meeting of general gynecologists, gynecological endocrinologists, psychiatrists and psychologists from Switzerland was held to provide an interdisciplinary algorithm on PMD management taking reproductive stages into account. The Swiss PMD algorithm differentiates between primary and secondary PMD care providers incorporating different levels of diagnostic and treatment. Treatment options include cognitive behavioral therapy, alternative therapy, antidepressants, ovulation suppression and diuretics. Treatment choice depends on prevalent PMD symptoms, (reproductive) age, family planning, cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities, comedication and the woman's preference. Regular follow-ups are mandatory.
