概要 Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD),
a severe type of premenstrual syndrome
(PMS), is characterized mainly by
psychological symptoms confined to the
premenstrual period, which reduce not
only patients' quality of life, but
also their working activities. Although
various therapies have been employed
for PMDD, some patients do not respond
to them. We recently employed
acupuncture treatment for a patient in
PMDD. Symptoms ameliorated during the
acu-puncture (+) period, but
deteriorated during the acupuncture(-)
period. This review describes the
clinical course of this case. The
diagnosis and treatment of PMDD are
briefly summarized and previous
acupuncture treatment for PMS are
reviewed. The difficulties in
evaluating the effectiveness of
acu-puncture for PMS/PMDD are addressed.
It is suggested that acupuncture may be
a treatment option for PMDD.
