PMDD/PMS

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), and the more severe Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), is marked by symptoms of:
  • Feeling sad, hopeless, or self-deprecating.
  • Feeling tense, anxious, or "on edge".
  • Feeling irritable or angry, with increased interpersonal conflicts.
  • Decreased interest in activities.
  • Feeling fatigued, lethargic or lacking in energy.
Women who have experienced these symptoms during the week prior to menses for most months during the past year may be eligible to participate in a clinical research study evaluating the effects of sleep and light therapy in treating mood changes associated with PMS/PMDD.

Women who are:
  • between the ages of 18 and 45.
  • have regular menstrual cycles.
  • do not smoke.
  • do not use hormonal birth control.
    May be eligible to participate.
