Abstract

In this study, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of relaxation training in women with PMDD through a randomized controlled design. Sixty-three women were recruited and randomized to relaxation training or control groups. The outcome measurements, administered at baseline and post-training, included the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS). The intervention group received 12 sessions of relaxation training, including progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagination. While there were significant differences within the group in the relaxation training group, no significant differences were found in the control group. Relaxation training had a positive effect on reducing premenstrual symptoms, anxiety, depression and disability and improving quality of life in women with PMDD. More research is necessary to recommend relaxation training as a primary and long-term treatment and to understand how it should be included in a comprehensive treatment plan.

针对经前期焦虑症的身心综合干预：随机对照试验

在这项研究中，我们旨在通过随机对照设计来检验放松训练对患有 PMDD 的女性的有效性。我们招募了 63 名女性，并将她们随机分为放松训练组或对照组。在基线和训练后进行的结果测量包括经前期症状筛查工具（PSST）、医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）、诺丁汉健康档案（NHP）和希汉残疾量表（SDS）。干预组接受了 12 次放松训练，包括渐进式肌肉放松和引导想象。虽然放松训练组的组内差异明显，但对照组没有发现明显差异。放松训练对减少经前症状、焦虑、抑郁和残疾以及改善 PMDD 妇女的生活质量有积极作用。有必要开展更多的研究，以推荐将放松训练作为一种主要的长期治疗方法，并了解如何将其纳入综合治疗计划。
