The Anabolic Effect of Testosterone on Pelvic Floor Muscles

Stress Urinary Incontinence · Menopause

Stress urinary incontinence is the most common female pelvic floor disorder encountered in clinical practice with significant negative impact on quality of life. The prevalence of urinary incontinence increases with aging, and weakness of the pelvic floor muscles contributes to the development of stress urinary incontinence. Given that androgen receptors are expressed throughout the pelvic floor, the anabolic effects of androgens on pelvic floor muscles may provide a therapeutic option in women with stress urinary incontinence. The investigators are conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial in older postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence to assess whether testosterone therapy can increase pelvic floor muscles and improve urinary function.

ActiveGirls: Physical Activity, Hormone Health, and Diabetes Risk in Early Adolescence

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) · Puberty · Insulin Resistance

This study explores how a physical activity program can affect hormone health and diabetes risk in girls ages 8-12 who may be at higher risk. The study aims to address: * Does the 'ActiveGirls' program meet the needs of girls and families in engaging them to increase physical activity? * What is the trend of markers of diabetes risk and puberty hormones over a 1-year period and how are these levels related to physical activity levels? Participants in this study will either: * Participate in a 'full' intensity intervention that includes educational messages (text/email) as well as health coaching visits to support physical activity over a 6 month period * Participate in a delayed 'lower intensity' intervention that includes only educational messages (text/email) * Participants in both groups will complete at-home activity monitoring, two study visits for check-ups and tests, and surveys

Menopausal HT for Women Living With HIV (HoT)

HIV Infection · Menopause

Women living with HIV have been shown to experience more frequent and severe hot flashes and night sweats (collectively known as vasomotor symptoms) as compared to women living without HIV. This correlates with disturbed sleep, increased depressive symptoms, increased anxiety, worse mental function, interference with activities of daily living including work, and worse overall quality of life. Hormone therapy is considered to be the most effective therapy for hot flashes and night sweats and the most appropriate choice to prevent bone loss at the time of menopause for women without HIV. However, the usefulness of hormone therapy has not been specifically studied in women living with HIV. This trial is being done to see if: * There is evidence to support the use of hormone therapy (estradiol with or without progesterone) for the treatment of hot flashes and night sweats in women living with HIV * Hormone therapy improves mental function, mood, sleep, quality of life, bone health, heart health, and inflammation in women living with HIV * Hormone therapy is safe and tolerable for women living with HIV

Glycemic Regulation as Endometriosis Adjunct Treatment

Pelvic Pain · Endometriosis

The goal of this pilot trial is to learn if a novel non-hormonal treatment, metformin hydrochloride, works to treat pelvic pain in young women with endometriosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is metformin superior to placebo in alleviating pain symptoms in young women with endometriosis? * Does metformin alter systemic inflammatory markers over 6 months in young women with endometriosis? Researchers will compare metformin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if metformin works to treat pelvic pain. Participants will: * Take drug metformin or a placebo every day for 6 months * Visit the clinic three times: once at baseline (pre-treatment), once at 3 months, and once at 6 months * Keep a daily symptom diary to track pain, bleeding, and usage of any pain medications

Evaluating the Impact of a Novel Cannabinoid Product for Endometriosis

Endometriosis

Despite the proliferation of cannabis and cannabinoid products in recent years, little research has been done to determine the impact of these products on womens health conditions, including endometriosis. This study is designed to assess the impact of a custom-formulated, hemp-derived, full-spectrum, high-CBD product vs. placebo on clinical symptoms and biomarkers over the course of 12 weeks of treatment in patients with endometriosis. This project will provide information that does not currently exist on the potential efficacy of a cannabinoid-based sublingual product for endometriosis.

Comparing Digital Therapy, Trazodone, and Daridorexant for Menopause-Related Insomnia Symptoms

Menopausal Women · Insomnia

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how three current insomnia therapies (trazodone, daridorexant, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) compare with each other in peri- and post-menopausal women. It will also learn about the safety of the treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which commonly used insomnia therapies are most effective and safe for improving insomnia symptoms in peri- and post-menopausal people? How well do the treatments work for people from different backgrounds, who are at different stages of menopause, and who have different conditions common during menopause (e.g., sleep apnea, mood disturbance, etc.)? What medical problems do participants have when using these treatments? Participants will: Be asked to take trazodone every night, take daridorexant every night, or participate in an online behavioral program for insomnia, for a total of 12 months. Participate in a total of one in-person visit and 7 virtual visits (phone calls) over the 12 months. Wear (and keep) a Fitbit and fill out a daily sleep diary for at least 4 weeks over the 12 months. Fill out online surveys 4 times over the 12 months.
