TNF inhibition for the treatment of pre-menstrual syndrome and primary dysmenorrhea

摘要

Methods for treating pre-menstrual syndrome and primary dysmenorrhea in humans by administering to the human a therapeutically effective dose of specific biologics are presented. The biologics of consideration include antagonists of tumor necrosis factor alpha. The administration of these biologics is performed by specific methods, including parenteral, intranasal, or anatomically localized administration designed for perispinal use. Anatomically localized administration involving perispinal use includes, but is not limited to the subcutaneous, intramuscular, interspinous, epidural, peridural, parenteral or intrathecal routes.
