Scientific Abstract
This project is a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of a smartphone app with a cognitive-behavioral approach for women affected by premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Participants keep a symptom diary for two menstrual cycles and will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (app access for 8 weeks) or the control group. The app contains 16 mandatory modules, including cognitive strategies to deal with less helpful, symptom-related thoughts. Data will be collected four times to assess the impact of the app on the severity, impact and disability of PMDD.
