Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refer to physical, cognitive, or affective symptoms that arise in the late luteal phase and remit with menses. The present work is a clinically focused scoping review of the last twenty years of research on treatment for these disorders. A search of key terms using the PubMed/Medline, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases was performed, and 194 studies of adult women met initial inclusion criteria for review.

Background: About 68% of women aged 18-44 years have experienced cyclic mastalgia (CM), which occurs during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle when elevated hormone levels induce greater breast gland thickness. CM has a moderate-to-severe impact on a woman's quality of life. Prior research has suggested that acupuncture may be beneficial for breast pain relief.

Article Synopsis
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) are both premenstrual conditions affecting menstruating women, with PMS being more common and involving a range of physical and emotional symptoms.
- PMDD is considered more severe, classified as a depressive disorder, affecting a smaller percentage of women and leading to significant psychosocial impairment.
- Treatment options for both disorders include pharmacological approaches like SSRIs and oral contraceptives, as well as non-pharmacological methods like diet changes, exercise, and therapy to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
