Changes in premenstrual symptoms and irrational thinking following cognitive-behavioral coping skills training.
Abstract
Women reporting severe premenstrual symptoms were allocated nonrandomly to a cognitive-behavioral coping skills treatment (n = 13), a nonspecific treatment (n = 12), or a waiting-list group (n = 12). Repeated measures analyses of variance showed that, compared with control subjects, the coping skills group reported significant reductions in premenstrual symptomatology and irrational thinking at posttreatment and at 9-month follow-up. There were no significant differences between the waiting-list and control intervention groups at any time of testing. It was suggested that the increased irrationality reported at pretreatment should be viewed not as a "cause" of premenstrual problems but as a product of the stresses experienced in the premenstruum phase. The findings of this study indicated that cognitive-behavioral coping skills treatments can reduce the negative effects of premenstrual symptoms and that those reductions can be maintained over time.

CBT can reduce interference of premenstrual symptoms on daily living.
“The results of systematic review [10] and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [13, 14] suggest that cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) can reduce premenstrual anxiety and depression, have a beneficial impact on behavioural change, and reduce interference of premenstrual symptoms on daily living [15, 16–18].”

Taking part in an intervention for PMDs can reduce psychological premenstrual symptoms and premenstrual distress.
“The finding of significant differences across time when the groups are collapsed (ignoring the intervention group assignment), confirms previous reports [10, 13, 14] that taking part in an intervention for PMDs can reduce psychological premenstrual symptoms and premenstrual distress [15, 16, 18, 20, 72, 73].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
