Filter by:The purpose of this Phase III trial is to evaluate the efficacy of oral administration of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) combined with acolbifene (a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)) on vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes) in postmenopausal women.
RATIONALE: Magnesium oxide may help relieve hot flashes symptoms in women with a history of breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies how well a high-dose or a low-dose of magnesium oxide works compared to placebo in treating menopausal women with hot flashes and a history of breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate better efficacy and effectiveness of modified applied relaxation technique over its original version for treating menopausal symptoms.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of both low-dose oral (by mouth) 17-ß-estradiol and the non-hormonal drug venlafaxine XR compared to placebo in reducing hot flashes. Included in this objective is the intention to compare venlafaxine XR to estradiol therapy, to provide evidence of the relative efficacy of venlafaxine to what is currently considered the most established but also a controversial therapy. 17-ß-estradiol is a type of estrogen. Venlafaxine XR is the extended release (XR) version of venlafaxine. Venlafaxine XR is an serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). A placebo is a substance containing no medication.
The study was done to elucidate relationships between midlife women's self-reported hot flashes, neuropsychological symptoms, cognitive performance or sleep.
Estradiol treatment is effective at reducing vasomotor symptoms (eg hot flushes) in postmenopausal women. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Evamist.
This Phase 1, open label, randomized clinical trial will enroll 40 generally healthy, postmenopausal women aged 40-65 years old. Women will be randomized to one of two oral doses of MF101 for 4 weeks. Participants will be recruited at 3 clinical sites in the United States.
This study is designed to determine the effect of a Hypnosis Intervention on reducing hot flash frequency (perceived impact vs. physiologically measured impact), severity and daily interference in post-menopausal women. It is felt that the Hypnosis Intervention will result in significantly lower hot flash frequency, severity and daily interference scores (perceived impact vs. physiologically measured impact) versus Structured-Attention Control.
GAMALINE is already register for PMS and HIPERICIN as antidepressive drug. Both plant extracts. The investigators will try the mixture and see if the vasomotor symptoms will disappear. The investigators expect that together all symptoms will be covered better than Gamaline alone. The investigators will run for 180 days measuring at T0, T1 and T6 (starting point, 30 days and 180 days).
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.
