Perimenopause Clinical Trials

Framed within a diathesis-stress model, the primary objective of this research is to determine the pathophysiological mechanisms of estradiol (E2) in the clinical anxiety and anhedonia seen in the menopause transition (MT). Specifically whether E2 variability or E2 levels predict exaggerated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity and impaired recovery to stress ...

Given the current high incidence of osteoporosis, reducing the risk of osteoporosis development is essential. Recent estimates, based on the 2010 US Census, indicate that approximately 10.3 million people age 50 and older have osteoporosis. By 2030 the prevalence of osteoporosis for women 50 years and older is projected to ...

This is a prospective case series study aiming to radiographically assess the changes in alveolar bone width and height after the placement of a SLActive implant (implant with a modified surface that should stimulate bone formation) and 12 months after loading it in post-menopausal osteoporotic women. The null hypothesis is: ...

Primarily the influence of the therapeutic treatment on the microRNA concentration in the serum (treatment-response) and the relation between microRNA serum levels and changes of the bone mineral density will be investigated. These data will help to examine the use of microRNAs as novel diagnostic biomarkers for the diagnosis of ...

The research is a 6 month, intervention study of unilateral (single limb) exercise with the changes in a randomly chosen exercise leg being compared to those in the other (control) leg. Potential participants (women aged 55-70) will be approached via existing links in the community, at local community centres, through ...

For nearly 112 million patients with osteoporosis in China, it is of great significance for preventing and treating by clearly understanding the molecular mechanism of kidney deficiency. Thus, the research group has demonstrated in the earlier research that CLCF1 is an associated gene that can regulate JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and ...

Study Design: A block randomised, cross-over design of 24h rates of bone turnover in healthy, post-menopausal women with osteopenia receiving either a milk-based protein supplement (MBPS) or isoenergetic placebo control (PLACEBO). Participants: 16 Post-menopausal women with osteopenia as determined by site-specific bone mineral density BMD (DXA) diagnosed and screened by ...

Endometrial thickness has been used as an indicator of risk for endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma in asymptomatic perimenopausal women. However, there is no cutoff value in perimenopausal women and the same thickness does not express the same endometrial volume in different endometrium because uterine lengths may be different and endometrial ...

Skeletal buffering of chronic acid loads may contribute to a significant amount of bone loss over time. Evidence from a few small short-term studies suggests that basic compounds, namely potassium citrate and potassium bicarbonate may reduce bone loss and improve bone density. The purpose of this study is to evaluate ...

During perimenopause (the time just prior to menopause), women often notice many biological, psychological, and social changes. In particular, some women experience depressive symptoms during perimenopause that are severe enough to warrant antidepressant medication. Whether or not women with perimenopausal depression respond to antidepressant medication may depend on the level ...
