Study design.
- Design
- Multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
- Participants
- 70 healthy peri- and postmenopausal women aged 45 to 55, with moderate symptoms: a Menopause Rating Scale score of 9 to 16 and more than ten hot flashes a week
- Intervention
- Aspargize™ at 400 mg a day, or placebo, for 56 days; assessed at days 14, 28, 42 and 56
- Measured
- Primary: the hot-flush score and the climacteric symptom score (MRS). Secondary: perceived stress, menopause-specific quality of life, mood, sleep quality and serum estradiol. Exploratory: salivary cortisol, FSH, LH and testosterone
