New treatment for women who experience sexual arousal problems following the menopause
Summary We are no longer recruiting for this trialWho can participate
If you are through the menopause, taking HRT and have noticed a change in your sexual response since the menopause, you may be eligible to take part.
What to expect
The study will last for a period of 18-20 weeks, and you will be required to attend for study visits 7 or 8 times. Your travelling expenses between the 'clinic' and home will be reimbursed.
A physical examination, detailed medical history, blood tests, blood pressure and pulse rate will be taken together with a urine sample.
Once you meet the initial screening requirements, you will be given instructions on the use of a telephone diary which will be to record details of your sexual activity over the next four weeks and throughout the study. This is an automated system with pre-recorded questions.
Upon completion of the four weeks your tests and your telephone diary will be reviewed. If you do meet all the requirements for study participation, you will be randomly prescribed a treatment or placebo (a look alike tablet containing no actual medication) for the next 12 weeks.
