Active clinical trials for "Hot Flashes"

50 menopausal women with the diagnosis of hot flushes were randomized to 1 of 2 groups Group (A): It consists of 25 women who practiced treadmill exercise program for 30 minutes at 60% to 70% of maximum heart rate. The treatment sessions will be repeated 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Group (B): It consists of 25 women who received diet modification contains soy products (phytoestrogen) such as soy milk and soy beans every day for 12 weeks only.

Rationale: Venlafaxine may help relieve hot flashes in women who have had breast cancer. Hypnosis or focused attention may help control hot flashes in postmenopausal women. It is not yet known whether giving venlafaxine together with hypnosis or focused attention is more effective in treating hot flashes. Purpose: This randomized clinical trial is studying venlafaxine together with hypnosis or focused attention in treating patients with hot flashes.

RATIONALE: Recombinant human mannose-binding lectin (MBL) may be effective in preventing infection in young patients with fever and neutropenia receiving chemotherapy for blood disease or cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of recombinant human mannose-binding lectin in treating young patients with MBL deficiency and fever and neutropenia.

This study is aiming to evaluate changes in vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women treated for 4 months with Omega-3 vs Soy Isoflavones.

The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of hot flushes on sleep, mood, and well-being. The investigators will cause hot flushes by giving study participants the hormone medication, leuprolide (Lupron), which is a manufactured (artificial) hormone that makes the body think that it has reached menopause temporarily. Most women begin to have hot flushes within 4 weeks after taking leuprolide and resume menses 3 months later. The investigators will administer questionnaires to evaluate changes in sleep and mood over the course of the study.

We plan to enroll premenopausal women in a trial investigating the impact of hot flashes developed in response to an injection of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), leuprolide (brand name: Lupron), on sleep disruption and mood. This study is designed to mimic the menopause transition. We will collect data on sleep disruption and mood changes to assess their relationship to the development of hot flashes.

RATIONALE: Gathering information about the frequency and intensity of hot flashes in patients with breast cancer and in patients who have a high risk of developing breast cancer may help doctors learn more about menopausal symptoms. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at menopausal symptoms in women with breast cancer or at high risk of breast cancer who received treatment on another clinical trial.

The overarching aim of this study is to assess the validity of the iButton®, a dual temperature and humidity sensing device (DS1923; Maxim IntegratedTM), as an objective method to assess hot flash incidence and dynamics in both a real world (ambulatory) and controlled (laboratory) setting. This study will test the overarching hypothesis that both self-report hot flashes in both an ambulatory and laboratory setting will correlate (confirm) the temperature and humidity sensing observed via the iButton® technology.

RATIONALE: Hormone replacement therapy may be effective in relieving symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, without causing a recurrence of breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying hormone replacement therapy to see how well it works in relieving symptoms of menopause in postmenopausal women with previous stage I or stage II breast cancer.

Object:The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of sticking and massaging auricular points for the management of hot flashes in postoperative breast cancer patients.
