Filter by:Rotator cuff tears in the shoulder are common, often cause pain and disability, often fail to heal with surgery, and both tears and failure of healing are associated with estradiol deficiency. In this study, women who have gone through menopause will be randomized to either estradiol patches or placebo patches after repair of the rotator cuff. The purpose of this study is to determine whether estradiol patches show promise in improving shoulder pain, strength, and function when given with rotator cuff repair.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether hot water therapy (i.e. taking prolonged hot baths on multiple consecutive days) decreases hot flash symptoms and improves mood in women who are undergoing or who have underwent menopause. It is hypothesized that women who undergo hot water therapy will have reduced hot flash symptoms and improved mood. Initial tracking period: Women who volunteer to participate in this study will be asked to track the frequency and intensity of their hot flash and other menopause-related symptoms for an initial two week period. Afterwards, they will start their heat therapy program. Physiological assessments: On days 1, 7, and 13 of the heat therapy sessions, the participants will enter a climate controlled room to have their thermoregulatory responses assessed. This will consist of slowly walking on a motorized treadmill in 99.5°F (37.5°C) and 30% relative humidity conditions, for 30 min, after which the humidity in the climate chamber will be progressively increased until their core temperature begins to increase (~2 hour total time). Before and/or during these trials, core temperature, heart rate, whole-body sweat losses, thermal comfort, local sweat rate, and skin blood flow will be measured, and a 6 ml (~1 tsp) blood sample will be taken, to assess how the participants respond to the heat stress. These sessions should take less than 3 hours to complete. Hot water therapy sessions: Upon enrolling in the study, the participants will be assigned to one of two groups: water bathing at 105°F or 97°F in the lab. On days 2-6 and 8-12 of the therapy sessions, the participants will immerse themselves to a water level at the shoulders for ~30 min, followed by immersion to the hip level for ~60 min (total immersion time of 90 min). Post-intervention tracking period: after completing the heat therapy sessions, the participants will be asked to continue to take baths at home once every 4 days for 1 month. During this time, the participants will be asked to record the intensity and frequency of their hot flashes daily and other menopause-related symptoms weekly. At the end of this month the participants will be given a final exit survey, in order for them to provide the researchers information about their experience participating in the study.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare the efficacy and safety of vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome gel versus vaginal lubricant in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in postmenopausal women. The main question it aims to answer is: Is vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome gel more effective than vaginal lubricant in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in postmenopausal women Participants will be randomized into 2 treatment groups: vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome group and vaginal lubricant group. Researchers will compare whether vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome group has better improvement than vaginal lubricant group.
The concept of a digital detox, involving a deliberate reduction or elimination of digital device usage, has emerged as a potential strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of technology on mental and physical well-being. However, the specific effects of a structured digital detox program on psychological distress, psychosocial factors, menopause symptoms, and overall physical health in a community context remain underexplored. This study seeks to address this gap by conducting a real-world trial, examining the impact of a digital detox program tailored for women. By delving into the intricacies of how digital technology interacts with the unique challenges faced by women, this research aims to contribute valuable insights into the development of real-world-driven interventions that promote the holistic well-being of women in the digital age.
The study will employ a prospective single-arm design involving menopausal women who present with genitourinary symptoms of menopause (GSM). Due to the preliminary nature of this study and the absence of a control group, the primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of low-level laser therapy in alleviating GSM in this population.
The aim of this study is to achieve expert consensus on the management of menopause in the Asia-Pacific
The goal of this randomized controlled trial] is to investigate the effects of a 12-week time restricted eating (TRE) and exercise combined intervention, as compared to (i) TRE alone, and to (ii) Caloric Restriction (CR) plus the same exercise intervention elicited by the TRE group, on Skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) quantity, quality and function (primary outcome), Resting energy expenditure (REE) and cardiometabolic health (secondary outcomes), and miRNA biomarkers in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity.
This will be a randomized study to determine if animal-based protein-rich food sources can stimulate greater muscle protein turnover and whole-body protein balance and reduce skeletal muscle inflammatory markers in postmenopausal women compared to vegetarian base protein-rich foods.
A combination of synergistic dietary supplements is hypothesized to significantly improve self-reported measures of menopausal symptoms when compared with a baseline without the intervention.
Many observational studies have demonstrated links between serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors. Microvascular dysfunction relates not only to CVR but also to metabolic disease. Since cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in postmenopausal women, it would be relevant to confirm this relationship. Maybe further studies would show that the correction of hypovitaminosis D could minimize the CVR. Our objective with this clinical trail is to analyze if vitamin D status is related to microvascular function and conventional cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors in postmenopausal women. For that we enrolled, in a pilot cross-sectional study, 39 non-smokers, low CVR postmenopausal women, with less than 10 years of hypoestrogenism and associations of 25(OH)D to adiposity, blood pressure, fasting aldosterone, insulin, glucose and lipid profile, HOMA-IR, parathormone and microvascular function, assessed by laser-Doppler flowmetry at cutaneous site, were investigated.
