Cognitive function evaluation in premenstrual syndrome during the follicular and luteal phases using near-infrared spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many adult females experience periodic mental and physical symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Diagnosis of PMS is generally based on self-reported symptoms over several menstrual cycles, but there are concerns about its accuracy and duration. It is well known that decreased cognitive function is one of the symptoms of PMS. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is one of the methods for imaging brain activity, similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET). NIRS has been used to assess cognitive function decline demonstrated by decline in brain activity. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no report characterizing brain activity pattern in females with PMS during the lutea
