Study, 1993

# Why do some women with PMS have problems controlling their body temperature?

Changes in certain brain chemical systems connected to hormones may cause temperature control problems. Different women showed different patterns of temperature disturbance.

 Early or limited evidence

28 women with PMS with temperature control problems

## What they did

28 women with PMS and temperature control problems had their brain electrical activity measured and received clinical examinations during both phases of their menstrual cycle.

## What they found

Three different patterns of problems with temperature control were identified across different groups of women.

## What it means for you

Temperature problems in PMS may come from how the brain's chemical systems respond to hormonal changes. This suggests different women may have different underlying causes. The main limitation is the small sample size and lack of a control group for comparison.
