Abstract :Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to compare differences and similarities the cerebral lateralization of adolescent girls with Premenstrual Syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PMS); with the control group. We also aimed to investigate whether there was a relationship between PMS severity and cerebral lateralization. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 female adolescents aged 14-18 years who met the study inclusion criteria completed the study. A second interview was held with all participants who filled out the Premenstrual Assessment Form insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PAF); during the luteal periods of menstrual cycles insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1-7 days before menstruation);. All participants completed the Harris lateralization test. Results: The mean age was 192.85 ± 14.54 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(range 167 - 216); months. The median PMS score was found to be 2.26 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.00 - 5.10);. While PMS was not detected in 35 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.30%); participants, mild PMS was detected in 20 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25.32%); participants, moderate in 14 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.72%);, and severe in 10 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12.66%); participants. Sixty-seven insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(84.81%); participants had right hand dominance and three insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.80%); left hand dominance, nine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(11.39%); participants had hand uncertainty. While the hand and eye dominance were on the same side in 41 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(51.90%); participants, cross-lateralization insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(all right hand, left eye); was detected in 11 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(13.92%); participants. Indeterminate lateralization insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Harris lateralization score of 1 or 2); for the hand and eye was significantly higher in the PMS group. Conclusion: The findings raise the question of whether lateralization insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hand-eye); is less common in individuals with PMS and whether there will be a common etiology for lateralization problem and PMS. Further studies are needed considering the factors that may contribute to this etiology and some of the limitations we have presented in our study.
