Filter by:Vasomotor syndrome is prevalent in 85% of postmenopausal women, hormone therapy in menopause is first-line therapy, but 38% of patients have some contraindication for its use. The medications indicated in this population presents adverse reactions, such as dryness of the mucous membranes, and insomnia in patients, and triggers to abandoned treatment due to poor response to the drug. Aligned with the safety of patients, we wish to test pomegranate seed oil with nanotechnology (NANOPSO), which has been reported to have positive results at a central level, due to its antioxidant effect, which could impact women in climacteric in a positive way. The study involves the participation of 90 patients divided into two groups, where placebo or Nano-PSO will be administered for 60 days, with a total follow-up of 120 days. It is established that patients must not have received previous treatments for menopausal symptoms. Therefore, it is expected that therapy with NANO-PSO compared to placebo will be more effective in controlling vasomotor symptoms in early menopause after 6 months of treatment evaluated by the MRS scale.
Mindfulness-based educational intervention is a structured program that incorporates principles of mindfulness to help individuals develop greater awareness and acceptance of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. The intervention typically includes mindfulness meditation practices, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and educational components about stress management and emotional regulation. By fostering a non-judgmental and present-focused attitude, participants learn to manage their symptoms more effectively and improve their overall quality of life.
Multicentre, exploratory, prospective, open-labelled study to evaluate the efficacy of SE5-OH tablets on menopausal symptoms in healthy women experiencing menopausal symptoms after 12 weeks of administration. The study will be performed in 10 hospitals (private and public) located in Spain. Recruitment period of 6 months will be defined in order to include up to 300 healthy volunteers from different national hospitals and clinics.
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 aim of this study is to determine the effect of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), a nonpharmacological method, on menopausal symptoms and depression in postmenopausal women. By determining the effectiveness of the Emotional Freedom Technique, the applicability of non-pharmacological method treatment in women with depression and menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal period will be proven. As a result of the study, if a positive effect on menopausal symptoms and depression is found in women with EFT, it can be recommended as an evidence-based alternative method in midwifery and nursing care.
Menopause is one of the most significant lifecourse challenges for women. The decline in female sex hormones, in particular estrogen, during menopause leads to an increased risk in cardiometabolic diseases, and a decrease in quality of life due to symptoms such as low mood, anxiety, hot flushes and difficulty sleeping. As life expectancy continues to increase, on average, women will spend one third of their life in the postmenopausal period. Increasing evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a key role in menopause-related symptoms and conditions, being one of the main regulators of circulating sex hormones. Menopause has been linked to gut dysbiosis and lower gut microbial diversity, therefore nutritional strategies targeting the gut microbiome may be an effective approach to improve women's health during menopause. Both (poly)phenols and probiotics are promising candidates for the prevention and treatment of menopausal symptoms via different mechanisms, including the modulation of the gut-brain axis, while emerging evidence indicates that using both together may be a better approach than traditional carbohydrate-based synbiotics. To our knowledge, the efficacy of a (poly)phenol based synbiotic targeting the gut microbiome for improvement of menopausal symptoms has not been investigated so far.
This study aimed to determine the effects of Kegel exercise and Ba Duan Jin applications applied to premenopausal women with urinary incontinence on quality of life and psychological well-being. Study Group of the Research: Premenopausal women between the ages of 45-55 who come to the family health center with any complaint and have urinary incontinence. The research will be conducted as a randomized pre-test, post-test and control group intervention study design. The research will be conducted with women aged 45-55 with urinary incontinence who came for examination for any reason to a Family Health Center in Sinop between March 2024 and July 2024. According to the power analysis, the number of participants was calculated to be at least 54 when the type 1 error was taken as 0.05, the power was 0.95 and the effect size was medium (0.25) for the two-group design with two repeated measurements. To prevent possible data loss, the sample size was increased by 10% and the total number of participants was determined as 60. A total of 60 women, 30 experimental and 30 control, coming to the Family Health Center will be randomly included in the study. No information, Kegel exercise program and Ba Duan Jin applications will be given to the women in the experimental group, and no intervention will be given to the control group during the research process. Participants will be assigned to 2 groups: experimental and control. Those who come to FHC on odd days of the month will be included in the experimental group, and those who come on even days of the month will be included in the control group. Each group will be determined as 30 people. After the research is completed, the interventions applied to the experimental group will be applied to the women in the control group. Personal Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale and Incontinence Quality of Life Scale will be applied to women in the experimental and control groups as pre-test measurements. As a final test, the same measurements will be made to both the control group and the experimental group 16 weeks after the first measurement.
The menopause transition is associated with a decrease in artery health and an increased risk for weight gain in storing fat in the stomach area which may increase the risk for heart disease. The purpose of this research is to study how the decrease in estrogen at menopause changes artery health and fat gain, and risk of disease in women as they age. The first aim in this study will determine whether short term and long term low estrogen levels in premenopausal women decreases artery function and whether this is related to an increase in fat in the stomach area. The second aim will determine whether the changes in artery health and body fat are related to changes in a pathway that breaks down an important amino acid called tryptophan. This pathway is thought to play a role in regulating the aging process. Therefore, the investigators will determine whether the decrease in artery health and the increase in body fat in the stomach region with low estrogen is related to changes in this pathway in the blood, in vascular cells and fat tissue. Because estrogen levels fluctuate in premenopausal women, the investigators will use an approach (intervention) that controls estrogen levels to address these aims. The investigators will use a medication that is typically used to treat endometriosis or uterine fibroids to lower estrogen levels and an estrogen patch to increase estrogen in some women. Some women will receive a patch that has no estrogen (called a placebo patch). The intervention period will be 20 weeks. The study will provide us with new knowledge on how low estrogen with menopause affects artery health and fat gain estrogen.
In Greece, people of different age groups, including young children to older adults, are involved in traditional dance. To date, the well-know benefits of dancing include entertainment, socialization and increased physical activity. However, the acute effects of Greek traditional dancing on health, physical performance and muscle damage indices remain largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the acute effect of Greek traditional dancing on health-, physical performance-, and muscle damage-related parameters by considering the impact of dancing tempo (slow vs moderate vs fast). In a crossover repeated measures design 10 pre- and 10 post-menopausal women will participate in the three dancing sessions of different tempo in a random order.
The aim of this research is to 1) test how the skin blood vessels and sweat glands function in women who experience hot flushes by using skin microdialysis to deliver small amounts of substances to the skin that cause increased skin blood flow and sweating, and 2) examine the structure of the skin blood vessels and sweat glands in the skin of women who experience hot flushes by taking a very small skin biopsy. Any changes in the function or structure of the skin blood vessels or sweat glands in women with hot flushes would increase our understanding of what causes hot flushes and help to design effective treatments.
