Hot Flash Clinical Trials

Hot flashes are the most common symptom of a woman's changing estrogen levels around the time of her last menstrual period (menopause).   More than two-thirds of North American women who are heading into menopause have hot flashes. They also affect women who start menopause after chemotherapy or surgery to remove their ovaries. Hot flashes are more common at night than during the day and are a common cause of sleep problems for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. 

If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may want to consider taking part in a clinical trial for hot flashes.

More About Hot Flashes

Hot flashes happen when the blood vessels near the skin's surface dilate to cool, making you break out in a sweat. Some women have hot flashes for a very short time during menopause. Other women may have hot flashes for the rest of their lives. Hot flashes are most frequent and intense during the first 2 years of postmenopause, when estrogen levels have dropped below a certain point. Generally, they get milder over time.
