Clinical Trial Description

Climacteric is a period marked by the reduction of estrogen levels, which leads to the occurrence of various symptoms that can affect a woman's physical, mental, sexual health and quality of life. The use of hormonal therapy (HT), with replacement of estrogen or estrogen and progestin, is indicated to alleviate these symptoms, aiming to improve the woman's quality of life. In addition, it is possible to use other forms of treatment to alleviate these symptoms, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), which play a major role in vasomotor symptoms. SSRIs have been used with moderate success in women who have contraindications to the use of HT or do not wish to use it. Objective: This study aims to analyze and compare the effects of HT and SSRIs in the treatment of climacteric symptoms in relation to cognitive and sexual function and quality of life in climacteric women. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study to be carried out with menopausal women treated at the Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher (CAISM) in the city of São Bernardo do Campo/SP/Brazil. Participants who sign the Informed Consent Form will answer 3 questionnaires: FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index), WHOQOL-Bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref) and MEEM (Mini-Mental State Examination). The results will be compared according to treatment group. ;
