Research diagnostic criteria for premenstrual tension syndrome (PMTS) are developed using data collected from a study of 42 women who were suffering from severe PMTS but were well at other times. Two specific scales are also devised for rating the severity of PMTS, a 36-item self-report questionnaire and a 10-item scale for use by therapist/researcher. It is proposed that after further evaluation and validation, these instruments may permit more useful comparisons of data on the etiology and treatment of this disorder.
经前紧张综合征（PMTS）的研究诊断标准是通过对42名患有严重经前紧张综合征但在其他时间状况良好的女性进行研究收集的数据制定的。还设计了两个特定量表来评定经前紧张综合征的严重程度，一个是36项自我报告问卷，另一个是供治疗师/研究人员使用的10项量表。有人提出，经过进一步评估和验证后，这些工具可能会使关于该疾病病因和治疗的数据比较更有意义。
