While perimenopause and menopause are natural biological transitions, women may experience a wide range of physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms. Although pharmacological options for symptom relief are available, these options may not be acceptable or suitable for all women. Integrative approaches for symptom relief, offered through group medical visits, may complement traditional therapies by increasing access to providers, allowing more time for focused education, and fostering supportive discussions with other women experiencing similar symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of eight monthly group medical visits that incorporate individual physical assessments, focused education on the foundational elements of Lifestyle Medicine relative to health and well-being, mindfulness practices, and community-building discussions with women experiencing perimenopause or menopause. Individual outcomes, obtained before the group medical visits begin, at each monthly group medical visit, and four months after the group medical visits are completed, will include measures of participants' perimenopause or menopause symptoms, stress, inflammation, microbiome (good bacteria in the body), height/weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and self-reported perceptions of physical, mental, and social health. Each 120-minute monthly group medical visit, led by a specially trained nurse practitioner and a mindfulness instructor, will include a brief physical assessment, educational discussions related to menopause and lifestyle medicine, experiential mindfulness practices, and the development of individual health and well-being goals.
NCT06949553
This is an observational study to learn more about vasomotor symptoms (VSM) burden and treatment patterns in menopausal women before and after participating in OASIS studies. In this study, data from women with VMS associated with menopause who took part in any of the three OASIS studies and were treated with elizanetant or a placebo, are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to healthcare. VMS associated with menopause is a condition in which women who have been through the menopause have hot flashes caused by hormonal changes. Menopause is the stage when a woman stops having menstrual cycles or periods. No investigational products will be administered in this study. The participants in this study already received the standard of care (SOC) treatment for VMS before and after their participation in the study, as part of their regular care from their doctors. The SOC is the treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate currently. OASIS is a set of clinical studies. In this study data will be collected from participants who took part in OASIS 1, 2 or 3 . These three studies assessed the safety and effects of elizanetant compared to a placebo for VMS associated with the menopause. Based on the results of these three studies, Bayer filed a New Drug Application for elizanetant. To better understand the impact of elizanetant on VMS, more knowledge is needed about treatment patterns that were followed for VMS before and after the OASIS studies. The main purpose of this study is to gather real-world data on participants' prescription trends, whether they continued or stopped taking treatments, and healthcare resource utilization, before and after their participation. This study will include participants from OASIS 1,2 or 3 from the United States of America, who have agreed to be contacted to share information regarding their treatment. This study will have 2 parts: Part A - researchers will invite participants to complete an online survey about the treatments given in the year before starting the OASIS study. Part B - researchers will use tokens (an anonymized number to ensure participants' privacy) to learn about the treatments given to them 6 months after the completion of the OASIS study through their anonymized medical records. Researchers will collect the following information: Part A: * the prescription and over-the-counter medicines used by the participants for VMS in the year before the OASIS start * whether they continued or stopped taking them, and * the reason for doing so Part B: * the prescription medicines used by the participants for VMS in 6 months after the OASIS ended * whether they continued or stopped taking them For Part A the data will be collected from the participant survey between March 2025 and June 2025, and for Part B the data will be collected using participants' medical records between April 2025 to May 2025. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.

This study will use a randomized placebo-controlled trial to examine smaller doses of choline and whether a signal in the brain is detectable using fMRI. This study will examine if an even smaller doses of choline can show these similar brain activation and connectivity patterns to the 1650 mg dose. This will be a dose ranging study of 550 mg and 1100 mg oral choline compared to placebo.
NCT07118891
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of single and multiple doses of ABCL635 administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection to healthy men and to postmenopausal women with or without any vasomotor symptoms (VMS) or hot flashes, and to postmenopausal women with moderate-to-severe VMS associated with menopause. The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of ABCL635 will be assessed in all study participants; the effects on frequency and severity of VMS will be assessed in postmenopausal women who experience moderate-to-severe symptoms.

The intervention will be conducted by Assist. Prof. Dr. Nurten ÖZÇALKAP. No invasive procedures will be performed; participants will engage in deep breathing, warm-up exercises, playful activities, and laughter exercises. The researcher holds an internationally certified training in laughter therapy. Intervention Group Participants will be invited face-to-face, informed about the study, and provide consent. They will be assigned to groups of 8 - 9 and receive laughter yoga twice weekly for a total of 8 sessions (20-40 minutes each) in a suitable hospital or institutional setting. Baseline assessments will include the Introductory Information Form, Brain Fog Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Sleep Quality Scale. These scales will be re-administered after the 8th session. Control Group Participants will be recruited similarly and provide consent. Baseline assessments will be conducted using the same instruments. Post-test assessments will be performed 4 weeks later. After study completion, control group participants who wish will be offered one session of laughter yoga.
NCT07272174
Perimenopause is now considered a possible risk factor for dementia and may contribute to the fact that 2/3 of those living with Alzheimer's disease are females. Indeed, research studies show that middle-aged females demonstrate significant declines in their thinking abilities and detrimental changes in their brains as they go through perimenopause. Thus, perimenopausal females need strategies to bolster their brain health. The World Health Organization strongly recommends physical activity interventions to reduce the risk of decline in thinking abilities. However, whether exercise can improve thinking abilities and brain health in perimenopausal females has not been examined. Our research aims to address this important knowledge gap in female brain health. We will study the effects of a 6-month resistance exercise training (e.g., lifting free weights, exercise with weight machine) program on thinking abilities in 50 physically inactive perimenopausal females, aged 40 to 55 years, who are experiencing difficulties with their thinking abilities. In addition to measuring thinking abilities, we will determine if exercise benefits muscle health, heart health, sleep quality, psychological well-being, menopausal symptoms, and quality of life. We will also explore how resistance exercise training improves thinking abilities as such information can lead to new discoveries and therapies for brain health in females.
NCT06798571
The frequency and severity of heat waves has increased in the last decades. Older adults (over 65 years) have impaired responses to heat stress making them at increased risk for adverse events. Previous heat waves report that women over 65 experience worse health outcomes than any other age group and age matched men. Aging and reproductive hormones, specifically estrogen, independently alter responses to heat stress. However, the combined effects of low estrogen following menopause and aging on the response to heat stress are unknown. In this study, the investigators will identify the role of estrogen in pre and post menopausal women on thermoregulatory responses to heat stress.
NCT07500922
Post-menopausal women who request to begin hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) are directed to the research team. The participants are tested before beginning HRT, after two months of HRT, and five months of HRT. Tests include strength performance, central nervous system functioning, body composition, resting metabolic rate, and vascular screening. The participants are provided a 12-week training intervention (2 x strength, 2 x endurance per week) that can be voluntarily followed between tests at month 2 and 5. Compliance with the training program is recorded. A minimum of 15 participants are needed a priori, but the investigators aim to recruit and test 20 women.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of tirzepatide on vasomotor symptoms and on measures of biological aging.
NCT07472881
The purpose of this study is to integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory and therapeutic methods with modern low-level laser stimulation on corresponding acupoints, applying this combined approach to the field of weight management in menopausal women. The trial aims to investigate whether lifestyle modifications in accordance with WHO guidelines (dietary control and exercise), combined with adjunctive low-level laser acupuncture, can enhance weight reduction and improve body composition more effectively than standard lifestyle interventions alone.
NCT06318403
Rotator cuff tears in the shoulder are common causes of pain and disability, often fail to heal with surgery, and tears, worse outcomes after surgery, and failure of healing are associated with estradiol deficiency. In this study, post-menopausal women will be randomized to either estradiol patches or placebo patches after repair of the rotator cuff. The purpose of this study is to determine whether estradiol patches show promise in improving shoulder pain, strength, muscle volumes, and function when given with rotator cuff repair.
NCT06074120
The study will employ a prospective single-arm design involving menopausal women who present with genitourinary symptoms of menopause (GSM). Due to the preliminary nature of this study and the absence of a control group, the primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of low-level laser therapy in alleviating GSM in this population.
NCT07472205
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of a 12-week foot and ankle strengthening program on physical function and health-related quality of life in menopausal women. Menopause is associated with hormonal changes that may negatively affect muscle strength, balance, and functional capacity, potentially leading to reduced mobility and increased risk of falls. Although exercise interventions have demonstrated benefits in this population, most programs focus on global lower-limb training and rarely target the foot and ankle complex, which plays a key role in postural stability and gait propulsion. Approximately 60 menopausal women aged 45-65 years will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group performing a structured foot and ankle strengthening program or a control group maintaining their usual physical activity. The intervention will last 12 weeks and will include one supervised weekly session and four home-based sessions. The primary outcome will be ankle plantarflexion isometric strength measured by hand-held dynamometry. Secondary outcomes will include ankle strength in other directions, intrinsic foot muscle function, gait speed, spatiotemporal gait parameters, balance, foot-related functional status, and health-related quality of life.
NCT05188027
Participants will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor for at least three days on three separate occasions. One testing session will be a no-exercise resting control session (90 minutes). One will be a moderate aerobic exercise session (30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery), and the third will be a moderate weight-lifting session (\~30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery).The investigators will measure changes in blood glucose during exercise by drawing blood during and after exercise. Post-exercise glucose trends will be examined using continuous glucose monitoring.
NCT05664477
This is a proof-of-concept phase 2 clinical trial to investigate the safety and effect of the phytoestrogenic supplement PhytoSERM on regional brain metabolism by fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) in peri- and postmenopausal women. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a significant difference between the PhytoSERM group and placebo group in glucose brain metabolism.
NCT07027800
Purpose: The aims of the study are to investigate the effects of high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) with or without creatine monohydrate (CM) supplementation on three key areas: muscle characteristics, brain health, and metabolism/protein dynamics. Participants: 51 healthy, perimenopausal women between 38-60 years old. Procedures: In a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled design, participants will either consume creatine (CM), a placebo (PL), or no supplement (CON). CM and PL groups will be assigned a HIRT protocol, and the CON will do no training.
