Official title
Understanding Experimentally Induced Hot Flushes and Their Impact on Sleep and Mood
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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.
