| خلاصه مقاله | Background: Increase the amount of menstrual bleeding in women causes anemia and decreased quality of life. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the efficacy of Lemon balm only and combined Lemon balm-Nepeta menthoides on the menstrual bleeding in students with premenstrual syndrome. Patients & Methods: This triple-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 93 female students with aged 18 years and older. The intervention groups received 500 mg capsules of Lemon balm only or Lemon balm in combination with Nepeta menthoides. The control group received 500 mg capsule of placebo, in the luteal phase for two consecutive menstrual cycles, twice-daily. Pictorial Blood Lost Assessment Chart (Higham) was completed at baseline, 1, and 2 month after the intervention. Data was analyzed using chi-square, one way ANOVA, ANCOVA and Repeated Measures tests. Results: Differences in baseline characteristics and higham scores of the three groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). General linear model analysis with adjusting on the pre-intervention menstrual bleeding level showed that there was no statistically significant difference in terms of menstrual bleeding mean in the first (P=0.602) and second menstrual period after intervention (P=0.148) among the three intervention groups. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, treatment with Lemon balm and Lemon balm–Nepeta menthoides herbs didn't decrease menstrual bleeding in students with premenstrual syndrome. However, further clinical studies should be performed to assess the efficacy of Lemon balm and Nepeta menthoides in reproductive women in order to decide whether this medication is appropriate to treat in clinical setting or not. |
