PMS: Researching the possible causes

If you are a woman between 18 and 45 who experiences premenstrual syndrome (PMS), you may be eligible to help researchers investigate what causes it. This study explores possible causes of PMS by using a medication to stop the menstrual cycle temporarily. After the menstrual cycle is stopped, researchers will add back either estrogen or progesterone.

Premenstrual Syndrome Research Study

PMS: Treatment with Combined Hormones

Women between the ages of 18 and 50 may be eligible to participate in this PMS treatment study. This study will determine if stable hormone levels are effective in preventing mood symptoms in women with PMS.
