Mood across the Menstrual Cycle Study
The Johns Hopkins Center for Women’s Reproductive Mental Health (CWRMH) is currently recruiting women with OR without premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) for a research study on the menstrual cycle. Women with PMS or PMDD experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, or anger the week leading up to their period. These feelings go away shortly after the period begins. Other women do not have premenstrual mood symptoms. We invite women with OR without premenstrual mood symptoms to participate in this study.
Women in the study will complete 3 remote visits, conducted by telephone or video chat, over the course of 2-3 months. Participants will also complete blood draws. Study participation includes daily tracking of mood and physical symptoms across your menstrual cycle, completing questionnaires about your mood and health, collecting saliva samples, monitoring when your menstrual period starts, and completing blood draws during the week before your period starts.
If you are a woman who has regular menstrual cycles, we invite you to see if you qualify for our research study.
To be eligible, women must:
Be age 18-50
Not be taking hormonal birth control (the pill, the patch, the shot, the Mirena/Skyla IUD)
Not be using psychiatric medications such as antidepressants
Principal Investigator: Liisa Hantsoo, Ph.D
Protocol #: IRB00256856
