Active clinical trials for "Hot Flashes"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended-release oxybutynin chloride for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms, also known as hot flashes, in healthy naturally postmenopausal women. This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, parallel group, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of extended-release oxybutynin chloride on hot flashes in healthy naturally postmenopausal women. Patients will be randomized to extended-release oxybutynin chloride or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The total duration of the study for each treatment group is approximately 98 days. Patients will be seen for their Pre-Randomization Visit (Visit 1) fourteen (14) days prior to randomization and a physical examination, medical history, hot flash history, vital signs and laboratory tests will be performed. Patients will also have daily diaries dispensed to record their hot flashes (frequency for each severity). Patients who meet the eligibility criteria for this study will be randomized at Visit 2. At this visit, patients will have vital signs taken, adverse events recorded, study medication dispensed, and complete Quality of Life (QOL) questionnaires. The patient will be instructed to start her study medication beginning the morning after this visit (defined as Study Day 1). In both treatment groups, patients will return for follow-up visits between Study Days 8-14 (Visit 3), 22-28 (Visit 4), and 50-56 (Visit 5). The Final Study Visit (Visit 6) will occur between Study Days 78-84.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of oral estradiol and soy phytoestrogens on anxiety, stress responsivity and cognition in perimenopausal women.

To compare the efficacy and safety of gabapentin, estrogen and placebo in the treatment of hot flashes and other climacteric symptoms.

Study Hypotheses: Menopausal women who take Omega 3 vitamins(fish oils)will show improvement in the severity of their hot flashes.In addition women who take Omega 3 supplements will show improvement in their lipid profiles.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the amino acid L-isoleucine in the treatment of hot flashes in postmenopausal women.

This is a study to compare the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of DR-2031 to placebo when used as "add-on" therapy for prostate cancer patients with hot flashes following surgical or medical castration. All prostate cancer therapy must be stable for at least 45 days before entering the study and must remain stable throughout this 12-week study. Patients will maintain a daily paper diary to record the frequency and severity of hot flashes during the treatment period.

Breast cancer survivors often suffer from climacteric symptoms caused by treatment or diagnosis of their disease. Hormone replacement therapy is contraindicated and other pharmacological options may also include the risk of stimulating hormone receptors. Hydrotherapy following the guidelines of naturopathy by S. Kneipp is a non-pharmacological treatment option which may influence climacteric symptoms by affecting the regulation of body temperature. In this study, the regular self application of hydrotherapy after initial training by a professional will be evaluated for its efficacy, practicability, and compatibility.

Hot flashes and night sweats (also known as vasomotor symptoms or VMS) are the most common symptoms which bother women in menopause. This study will follow women going through menopause who have hot flashes and night sweats that cause them bother. They will be starting a non-hormonal therapy prescribed by their healthcare provider (HCP) to treat these symptoms. The women will receive prescriptions for the non-hormonal therapy from their HCP for up to 1 year. This real-world study will provide information on outcomes from various non-hormonal therapies. The study sponsor (Astellas) will not decide which therapy the women receive. However, the sponsor will provide instructions on when the women visit their HCP's office and what is recorded during the study. Throughout the study, the women will visit their HCP's office. Some of the visits will be in-person, but most will be virtual. The virtual visits can be carried out at home using a smartphone, tablet or computer. The main aim of the study is to check if the hot flashes and night sweats that bother women change after 12 weeks (3 months) of treatment. The study will also check the women's sleep patterns, their productivity at work, and their general well-being before and after starting treatment. The overall safety of the non-hormonal therapies will also be examined.
