Filter by:The decision regarding the use of post-menopausal estrogen hormone replacement therapy (HT) is complex because patients must balance the short and long-term risks and benefits. Information from new and important clinical trials must also be considered. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a HT CD-ROM decision-aid in improving the decision making process for women considering the use of estrogen HT.
This Phase I study will assess the pharmacokinetics of two botanicals, Trifolium pratense (red clover) and Cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh).

To evaluate whether the long-term use of oral contraceptives, after discontinuation, was associated with an increased incidence of first nonfatal myocardial infarction among women above the age of 50.
To conduct a three-armed trial assessing the effect of soy phytoestrogens on menopausal complaints, plasma lipids and lipoproteins, vaginal bleeding and endometrial proliferation, and health related quality of life.
To determine if the increase in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol at the time of menopause could be ameliorated or prevented by an intensive dietary intervention.
