One hundred volunteers completed a modified version of the Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire daily for 35 days. The purpose of the study was disguised. None of the participants was taking oral contraceptives. Significantly more symptoms were reported in the premenstrual and menstrual phases and fewer during the follicular phase of the cycle, but the pattern of response varied considerably between subjects. Symptom reporting was higher, in all phases of the cycle, in women with high trait anxiety or psychiatric morbidity (indexed by the General Health Questionnaire) but these measures did not relate to fluctuations of symptoms around the menstrual cycle. The need for prospective longitudinal studies of menstrual cycle symptomatology is emphasised.
100名志愿者连续35天每天填写一份改良版的穆氏月经困扰问卷。该研究的目的是隐蔽的。所有参与者均未服用口服避孕药。经前和经期报告的症状明显更多，而在月经周期的卵泡期报告的症状较少，但不同受试者的反应模式差异很大。在月经周期的所有阶段，特质焦虑水平高或有精神疾病（由一般健康问卷衡量）的女性报告的症状更多，但这些指标与月经周期前后症状的波动无关。强调了对月经周期症状进行前瞻性纵向研究的必要性。
