Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to compare yoga and health and wellness classes for helping perimenopausal or newly postmenopausal women who are experiencing hot flashes. The investigators want to learn about the effects of yoga and health and wellness classes on symptoms and other quality of life issues. The results of this study may provide important knowledge to women and clinicians who counsel women with menopausal hot flashes.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of Femarelle ( a plan-derived SERM) on hot flushes and quality of life in menopausal women. Our hypotheses are that compared to placebo, Femarelle reduces the daily number of hot flushes and their severity and also improves the quality of life as measured by validated dairies and questionnaires.
This is a study to determine if participation in a mindfulness-based stress reduction program is feasible for women experiencing five or more hot flashes/day, and whether it affects either the frequency and/or intensity of their hot flashes, or the degree of bother they experience from them
RATIONALE: Magnesium oxide may help relieve hot flashes in women with cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well magnesium oxide works in treating hot flashes in menopausal women with cancer.
Overall Objectives: The overarching goal is to compare the effectiveness of acupuncture and gabapentin to their respective placebo controls in the treatment of hot flashes in breast cancer patients. The investigators primary specific aim will focus on determining the magnitude of response to placebo acupuncture versus placebo pills on hot flashes (HFs).
Rationale: Venlafaxine may help relieve hot flashes in women who have had breast cancer. Hypnosis or focused attention may help control hot flashes in postmenopausal women. It is not yet known whether giving venlafaxine together with hypnosis or focused attention is more effective in treating hot flashes. Purpose: This randomized clinical trial is studying venlafaxine together with hypnosis or focused attention in treating patients with hot flashes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of oral estradiol and soy phytoestrogens on anxiety, stress responsivity and cognition in perimenopausal women.
This study is being done to determine whether stellate ganglion injection with local anesthetic (the study procedure) can reduce the number and severity of hot flashes in women who have hot flashes. Hot flashes can have a significant impact on daily living, disrupt sleep, and lead to fatigue and irritability during the day. Hot flashes are the most common reason that women seek hormonal therapy. However, for many women, including breast cancer survivors, this is rarely an option, and these women seek alternatives to hormonal therapy to treat hot flashes. The study procedure has been in clinical use for more than fifty years in treating certain disease states and chronic pain. The study procedure has not been used to relieve hot flashes and the use of the study procedure with local anesthetic for the reduction of hot flushes is considered experimental.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended-release oxybutynin chloride for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms, also known as hot flashes, in healthy naturally postmenopausal women. This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, parallel group, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of extended-release oxybutynin chloride on hot flashes in healthy naturally postmenopausal women. Patients will be randomized to extended-release oxybutynin chloride or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The total duration of the study for each treatment group is approximately 98 days. Patients will be seen for their Pre-Randomization Visit (Visit 1) fourteen (14) days prior to randomization and a physical examination, medical history, hot flash history, vital signs and laboratory tests will be performed. Patients will also have daily diaries dispensed to record their hot flashes (frequency for each severity). Patients who meet the eligibility criteria for this study will be randomized at Visit 2. At this visit, patients will have vital signs taken, adverse events recorded, study medication dispensed, and complete Quality of Life (QOL) questionnaires. The patient will be instructed to start her study medication beginning the morning after this visit (defined as Study Day 1). In both treatment groups, patients will return for follow-up visits between Study Days 8-14 (Visit 3), 22-28 (Visit 4), and 50-56 (Visit 5). The Final Study Visit (Visit 6) will occur between Study Days 78-84.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can relieve the symptoms of menopause, but can also cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Flaxseed may reduce the number of hot flashes and improve mood and quality of life in postmenopausal women not receiving estrogen therapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying flaxseed to see how well it works in treating postmenopausal women with hot flashes who have a history of breast cancer or other cancer or who do not wish to take estrogen therapy.
