This study was designed to determine efficacy of TREXIMA compared to placebo for the treatment of a menstrual migraine.
This study was designed to determine efficacy of TREXIMET (sumatriptan/naproxen sodium), formerly known as TREXIMA compared to placebo for the treatment of a menstrual migraine.
Serotonergic antidepressants are clearly effective for premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This study compares short-term treatment (4 months) and long-term treatment (12 months) with sertraline to determine how long medication should be continued after achieving a good response, how soon symptoms return after stopping medication, and whether symptoms are further improved with long-term treatment. Multiple hypotheses include the following: The percent of relapsed subjects is greater with short-term treatment; relapse is swifter with short-term treatment; relapsed subjects improve swiftly when returned to medication; patient satisfactions and quality of life are more improved with long-term treatment.
Assessing FM and psychiatric disorder in patients suffering from PMS or PMDD
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Levonorgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol (LNG/EE) is effective in treating the symptoms of severe Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether LNG/EE is effective in the treatment of menstrual cycle related symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether levonorgestrel (LNG)/ethinyl estradiol (EE) is effective in treating the symptoms of severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
This study will determine whether uninterrupted treatment with birth control pills over several menstrual cycles prevents severe premenstrual syndrome (PMDD). Previous studies have shown that the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulate mood in women with MRMD. This study will use various treatment regimens with birth control pills and placebo (sugar pill) to clarify the relationships among estrogen and progesterone, the menstrual cycle, and mood. Healthy women between 18 and 45 years of age who menstruate may be eligible for this 15-week study. Candidates are screened with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, an electrocardiogram, and 3 months of symptoms ratings to confirm MRMD. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. Group 1 takes a birth control pill every day and on three occasions takes a placebo capsule. Group 2 takes a birth control pill most but not all days and on three occasions takes a placebo capsule. Group 3 takes a birth control pill every day and on three occasions takes another medication called CDB-2914 that causes menstrual bleeding to occur. Participants come to the NIH clinic every other week for blood tests and measurement of vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, and temperature) and to complete symptoms ratings scales. Subjects who develop breakthrough bleeding (menstruation earlier than expected) will have a transvaginal ultrasound. For this procedure, a probe is inserted into the vagina for about 10 minutes. The probe gives off and receives sound waves that can be used to form a picture of the endometrium (lining of the uterus).
This study will explore the effects of dutasteride on mood and the stress response across the menstrual cycle. Dutasteride blocks production of neurosteroids-hormones that help regulate the stress response systems. These systems may be disturbed in women with menstrually related mood disorders (MRMD). The effects of the drug will be compared in women with and without MRMD to determine how neurosteroids regulate mood and the stress response across the menstrual cycle. Dutasteride is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (excess growth of the prostate gland) in men. Menstruating women 30 to 45 years of age with and without MRMD may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical and psychiatric history, physical examination, screening for symptoms of depression, and routine blood and urine tests. Participants are required to use barrier contraception (condoms or diaphragm) during the 3-month study and 6-month follow-up. Participants undergo the following tests and procedures: - Dutasteride or placebo treatment: Participants receive 1 month of dutasteride and 2 months of placebo. Neither the participants nor the investigators know when the subject is taking the active medication or the placebo. - Biweekly follow-up visits: Every 2 weeks during the 3-month treatment period, patients come to the NIH Clinical Center to have blood drawn and to complete mood symptoms ratings. - Monthly follow-up visits: Participants return to the Clinical Center once a month for 6 months after the end of the treatment period to monitor hormone levels and pregnancy status.
