In this session, clinical researcher and associate professor Erika Comasco will present the findings of research on Ulipristal Acetate as a potential new treatment for PMDD. This webinar includes clinical and neuroimaging insights.
DESCRIPTION
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a sex-specific psychiatric condition characterized by affective and physical symptoms, causing significant distress in about 3-8% of women of reproductive age. Progesterone is posited to be implicated in the symptomatology, thus the efficacy of a selective progesterone modulator (SPRM) for PMDD has been tested. The findings of the first multicenter randomized controlled trial will be presented along with the observed effects of SPRM on brain function and structure.
SPEAKER
Assoc. Prof. Erika Comasco, M.Pharm., Ph.D. - Researcher at the Department of Neuroscience, Uppsala University, Sweden. Erika Comasco´s research focuses on the interactive effect of constitutional and psychosocial factors on mental health, particularly the influence of sex hormones on women's brains and behavior.
