Abstract

Introduction: Iranian traditional medicine is based on the quadruplet temperaments.

Objectives: In the present study we aimed to evaluate the association of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and temperaments and ethnicities of female medical students of the west of Iran.

Patients and Methods: To conduct this study, we selected 100 female college students of Lorestan University of Medical Sciences. To diagnose their temperaments (natures), we used a 10-item questionnaire. For the ethnicities, we applied the neighbor-joining tree of western Iran ethnicities previously reported based on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes. A researcherdesigned questionnaire was used for the detection of PMS.

Results: Among 100 enrolled students, 45 students were healthy, and 55 students had different stages of PMS. Female students with typical warm nature were more susceptible to PMS (P=0.036). The role of ethnicity was not statistically significant.

Conclusion: In medical plant related studies, patients should be categorized based on their temperaments. Iranian traditional medicine should be reinvestigated based on evidence-based medicine.
