Filter by:The long-term goal of this program of research is to determine safe and effective non-hormonal interventions for menopausal symptoms. The main goal of this study is to evaluate whether self-administered hypnosis can be used to significantly reduce hot flashes more than self-administered white noise hypnosis over 6 weeks of home practice. The investigators are also examining the impact of each hypnosis group on sleep, anxiety, perceived and measured stress, heart rate variability, and daily activities.
This investigation is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the VR101 lubricating intravaginal ring (IVR) in treating the symptoms of vaginal dryness. In the proposed investigation, participants will use VR101 devices and sham control rings in a crossover study design. All participants who successfully complete the crossover study will be given the option to continue using VR101 for a total of 13 consecutive weeks to evaluate the long-term safety of the new device.
Autonomic and endothelial imbalance in post menopause women raise the need to manage cardiovascular risk. Yoga poses and breathing control present controversial results on prevention and treatment of hypertension.. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of 12 week intervention based on yoga poses and their muscle contractions known as bandhas (pelvic floor, core and throat/neck) and ujjayi pranayama (victorious breath) on autonomic modulation, endothelial function, arterial stiffness, aerobic capacity and cognitive function of hypertensive post-menopausal women.
The goal of this pilot clinical study is to perform a randomized placebo-controlled study to assess the beneficial effect of a 3 month-treatment with Bazedoxifene/Conjugated Estrogens (BZA/CE) vs. placebo on glucose homeostasis and body composition in 20 post-menopausal women. The recruitment will be performed at Tulane Health Sciences Center.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (absorption, breakdown and elimination from the body), safety and tolerability of Brisdelle (paroxetine mesylate) Capsules 7.5 mg when given as a single dose and multiple doses.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety & efficacy of Brisdelle (paroxetine mesylate) Capsules 7.5 mg for treatment of vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause.
This study aims to evaluate the chronic effects of estrogen on microcirculation, inflammatory biomarkers, hormonal status, plasma viscosity and biochemical tests in postmenopausal obese women after three months of follow-up intervention.
More than 60 % of women experience hot-flashes during postmenopausal and 20 % have serious symptoms. Use of combined estrogen/progesterone therapy reduces hot-flashes effectively. In 2001, results from the randomized controlled WHI-study (Womens Health Initiative) showed increased risk for breast cancer and hearth-disease among users of combined estrogen/progesterone therapy. This reduced the use of combined estrogen/progesterone therapy. Many women seek alternative treatment for hot-flashes. They are often told that physical activity can reduce intensity and frequency of hot-flashes. The evidence for this advice is sparse. The primary hypothesis tested in the WHAT-study will be: Increased physical activity reduce frequency and intensity of hot-flushes among sedentary postmenopausal women with bothersome hot-flushes. The WHAT-study is designed as a pragmatic randomized controlled clinical trial. To answer the primary hypothesis we will need approximately 500 participants. The logistic in a pragmatic trial of a complex intervention are complicated and we decided to first run a pilot study with 50 participants as a feasibility study. The pilot gives us opportunity to gain experience with possible problems like withdrawals and injuries.
This study will focus on how estrogen affects parts of the brain associated with memory and how the effect of estrogen is altered with aging in postmenopausal women.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of two different dose levels of estrogen or placebo in healthy postmenopausal women by measuring the changes in hormone levels and examining the changes in the uterine lining (endometrium).
