Efficacy of progesterone and progestogens in management of premenstrual syndrome: systematic review
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of progesterone and progestogens in the management of premenstrual syndrome. Design: Systematic review of published randomised, placebo controlled trials. Studies reviewed: 10 trials of progesterone therapy (531 women) and four trials of progestogen therapy (378 women). Main outcome measures: Proportion of women whose symptoms showed improvement with progesterone preparations (suppositories and oral micronised). Proportion of women whose symptoms showed improvement with progestogens. Secondary analysis of efficacy of progesterone and progestogens in managing physical and behavioural symptoms. Results: Overall standardised mean difference for all trials that assessed efficacy of progesterone (by both routes of administration) was −0.028 (95% confidence interval −0.017 to −0.040). The odds ratio was 1.05 (1.03 to 1.08) in favour of progesterone, indicating no clinically important difference between progesterone and placebo. For progestogens the overall standardised mean was −0.036 (−0.014 to −0.060), which corresponds to an odds ratio of 1.07 (1.03 to 1.11) showing a statistically, but not clinically, significant improvement for women taking progestogens. Conclusion: The evidence from these meta-analyses does not support the use of progesterone or progestogens in the management of premenstrual syndrome. What is already known on this topic: The premenstrual syndrome affects about 1.5 million women in the United Kingdom There are numerous treatment options, progesterone being one of the most strongly advocated Progesterone and progestogens are among the most widely prescribed treatments for premenstrual syndrome in the United Kingdom and the United States What this study adds: There is no evidence to support the claimed efficacy of progesterone in the management of premenstrual syndrome There is insufficient evidence to make a definitive statement about progestogens, but current evidence suggests that they are not likely to be effective

“Displaying summary statistics by group is helpful, because it allows an assessment of the severity of the problem in the studies (such as level of depression symptoms), which is not available from between-group results (that is, effect estimates).137”

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.
