Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of NOE-115 on moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) due to menopause in women.
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.
there is a scanty of researches which integrate to investigate the comparing effect of evening primrose oil and lavender as the essential oil that affects on menopausal vasomotor symptoms especially hot flashes and night sweet Therefore, the current study is expected to contribute to the knowledge and practice regarding the effect of lavender versus primrose oil on hot flashes and night sweat in menopausal women.
The GEMLIFE Study is a 12-month clinical trial for menopausal women. The purpose of this study is to promote an improved aging process for women in menopause through lifestyle changes. The changes will include a heart healthy diet, structured walking program, and mindfulness-based stress reduction. During the study, the investigators will monitor components of your genetic make-up that will tell us how you are aging. Investigators will also monitor bloodwork for inflammation that can affect medical conditions. Study participants may qualify if you are within 5 years of your last menstrual period and have well controlled medical conditions. There is no cost to participants to enroll in the study- only potential benefits to the participant's health and aging process.
Aims: To explore the effects of acupuncture on the improvement of insomnia, fatigue, depression and menopausal symptoms among midlife women.
Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation as a result of the loss of ovarian follicular function. This process involves some bothersome physical and psychological climacteric symptoms. The most common symptoms are vasomotor symptoms, psychological symptoms and sleep disturbances. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Connective Tissue Manipulation (CTM) on vasomotor symptoms, psychological symptoms, sleep quality and quality of life in the postmenopausal period in a randomized placebo-controlled study design. For this purpose, 58 postmenopausal women who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to one of the two research arms; CTM or placebo control. The participants in the experimental group will receive CTM for 5-20 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, whereas the participant in the placebo control group will receive superficial massage with the head of the therapeutic ultrasound device for 15 minutes at the same frequency for 4 weeks. In this study, primary outcomes are frequency of vasomotor symptoms and vasomotor symptom score and they will be evaluated by daily diaries. Secondary outcomes are general severity of menopausal symptoms, psychological status, severity and effect of insomnia and quality of life associated with menopause. These outcomes will be assessed by questionnaires; "Menopausal Symptoms Rating Scale", "Depression-Anxiety-Stress 21 Scale", "Insomnia Severity Index", and "Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Scale". All outcome measurements will be evaluated at baseline and after the intervention period. Then, the results will be compared within groups and between two study groups.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the vaginal gel with HMW HA in women with genitourinary syndromes due to either menopause or other causes such as the patients after ovarian or breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Tissues of the genitals of women are both androgen (testosterone) and estrogen dependent. The clitoris, vestibule, urethra, anterior vaginal wall, peri-urethral tissue, and pelvic floor all depend on androgens for normal function. In addition, the glands, which secrete lubrication during sexual arousal, also require androgens to function. Deficiencies of both estrogens and androgens occur naturally during menopause. Menopause-related deficiencies of these hormones lead to thinning in the tissues of the genital and urinary systems which have been termed Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). Patients with GSM will frequently complain of dryness and/or pain during sexual intercourse. Historically, GSM treatment involved both androgens and estrogens, However, over the past few decades estrogen based therapies have become much more common. More recently, clinical trials have demonstrated that local vaginal dehydroepiandrosterone (Intrarosa®) improves symptoms in menopausal women who have moderate to severe pain with intercourse. Intrarosa® vaginal inserts are a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used in women after menopause to treat moderate to severe pain during sexual intercourse caused by changes in and around the vagina that happen with menopause.
A prospective, open‑label, randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the benefits and risks of half-dose or standard-dose conjugated equine estrogens(CEE) plus natural progesterone or dydrogesterone in menopausal hormone therapy .
